I think if you like the look of the L52’s they are a good option. I would also check out the Wharfedale Denton 85’s as another vintage looking great sounding option.

Good morning, I would definitely try the Sony speakers hooked to the Yamaha amp to see if I don’t like the speakers or the amp in the next few days. The Wiim Ultra looks interesting and maybe it’s my only solution to having an EQ for both the Phono and Line inputs at the same time, not interested on
