    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    You are not used to very good gear. Any narrow tower speaker with small woofers automatically disqualifies as very good because of the high distortion in the bass. A better speaker with big woofers and compression drivers can be build for under 2k. I really don't mean 5-digits-expensive gear...

    The people on your side always have one thing in common. They are not accustomed sufficiently to very good audio gear. That probably takes a decade and thousands of hours of listening to good recordings. With your PSB speakers, you certainly don't have to worry about transports.
