I would have to draw the line at the Bowers and wilkens ones. I already have a good quality DAC so it will not be that much of an issue. I'm not interesting so much in volume but in sound quality. So the optimum would be for these speakers to deliver optimum sound while I am sitting at my

Only my observations for what they're worth. I Had a pair and I wasn't too impressed to be honest, they're okay but nothing earth shattering. I suppose that's because I set a high bar when it comes to my music listening as I want to enjoy it. If you can wait a little longer and save a
