    I agree however I just prefer to own music in physical form rather than digital. This way I also support the artists I like for their work. Plus I get a certain satisfaction when I listen to a CD or a record, I tend to pay more attention unlike when streaming I jump around skipping songs...

    For now I have a small office but at some point (in a year or 2) I'd like to upgrade my listening room and will probably require bigger speakers... hence I decided to invest in better amp now and these speakers I can always repurpose and/or upgrade if need be. Now the other reason is that I...
