    HF5 or PL50?

    custom TF10 question

    hey all.   i was wondering if somebody could tell me if any remolding specialist they know of could remold my TF10 and change the crossover to a custom 3 way? as it stands im not particularly happy with the sig of the TF10 and the fit is obviously questionable...   cheers, marty ;)

    HD25SP vs HD595 vs HD280pro ! which should i choose?
