Appreciate you keeping it real on this one! It's easy to get caught up in the sauce with these expensive sets!
I know some people will think I'm crazy but that's how I hear them. Honestly wouldn't buy these for $300 let alone $1400.
Nice review and cool photos my friend, also very fun how personal sound is. One's person's trash is another's treasure. It is also important that both sides are represented, had the same in the past with highly recommended sets I wouldn't even buy for 10% of the value
