In terms of value, price/performance, is the Sleek SA6 the best I can do for $200? If so, please tell me your alternative and why.
Thanks.
Thanks.

I didnt like the atrio M8 and got rid of them before the SA6 even came out. M8 are competitive with SA6 though but the bass wasnt my cup of tea at all. |
