    They will take 3k cash if you wave it at them...
    They are worth that and more. If I want to get more out of the gear I have, I will need to get new speakers, but I will also need to find 20k in my bank account to better them.

    That is cool, but odd you are promoting a discontinued speaker.

    Is it bad I’ve never heard of Snarky Puppy until now?

    Heard them on Live From Here years back -- they were a pretty impressive ensemble.

    The mix sounds incredible. Perhaps not entirely my cup of tea, but it sounds spectacular on the L800
