Hello,
Just getting back into audio after giving my wallet a break. The first thing I ever bought with money I earned was a pair of Ascend CBM-170s in highschool over 15 years ago (made a website for my friend's mom's interior design company). Since then at some point I got a pair of HD650s and some other nice budget headphone gear. I recently picked up a Monoprice Liquid Spark / SMSL M100 / Fostex T40RP for a cheat at-work headphone rig and was shocked how good it sounded, which brought me back down the rabbit hole again (this time with way more diposable income!). Now I've got my eyes set on upgrading the loudspeaker side of things - super interested in open baffle speakers (spatial M3 saphires? nx-oticas?). For the time being I'm going to make a pair of X-LS Encores and see how that goes.
