Hello, I came across this site after listening to some demos of speakers on YouTube.
Not sure whether it os use to anyone but if you like take a look at: http://switcher.oluvsgadgets.net/ There are recordings of various speakers and it is recommended to listen to them with headphones. I know these things are subjective but worth a look I think.
