A couple years ago I had a VModa M100 that I flew and commuted everywhere with and loved it paired a Fiio A5 amp and my old school iPod classic. Sadly around 2 years ago it was stolen, but I never replaced it because I had a Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 needing attention. Didn't have to travel as...
As the OP of this thread I’ve posted my use case of 3.1 and “maybe” 5.1 and I use Chane A1.5 and a Chane A2.4 for my center so I’m pretty budget oriented. My “maybe” rear speakers would be repurposed Wavecrest HVL-1s when I decide to replace those in another room. At this point in time I’ll...
