Andrew, can I contact you via email? I have a h160 question. If you don't want to share your email publically, here's mine: __trimstring__@outlook.com (remove the __)

Andrew, what genres of music you usually listen to? I have the Hegel H160 and find it not particularly suitable for rock/metal, at least not with the speakers I tried so far. So I'm looking for a pair of speakers or an upgrade up the Hegel lineup that will satisfy that need while preserving...
