    Travel speaker

    we've had jbl flip 5 for 3 yrs, or so, that sounds pretty good. not audiophile but certainly enjoyable. i got a case for it in the deal that is super convenient to carry by hand. fits in any carryon. we use it a lot during the summer on outings.

    Changing bookshelf to floorstand is worth it?

    iono jack but im from the "no replacement for displacement " camp. i went from htib to real ht and then added 2ch. until i got to towers, i felt like i wanted more of everything. satellites, true ht and floorstanders. they weren’t all the same level as my jbl L890 towers which are the best...
