I have the base audio system and I just put in some focal components 165 k2 into the front. I wanted to save money so I didnt put in an amp, rears or a sub. Nevertheless the sound is actually very good.


Bang for the buck I think a good set of front speakers is well worth it . I have a $10k audio tube system at home and I do not feel the sound in the 8 is shabby at all.

All in all well worth it.

 

Can you say what aspects improved?

Also what tube amps do you have at home? I love tube amps.
BTW I have an older set of Atma-Sphere Ma1's monoblock OTL (no transformers) got them many years ago used before they shot up 10K new for the pair.
