thanks.
the idea comes from the C3 being piss poor on mids, while the R2800 is all about that (being a 2.0 and all.)
so voila, let them compliment each other

thats a common misconception for hifi requires playback to be loud.
while it is certain better to play loud (of course not excessively loud) as almost all hifi equipment CAN cater (not so much they need to be loud) and most people these days have a preference towards loudness (eg: a modern pop/rock song for example) which sparked a loudness war many years back.

i do blast my speakers on occasion so long it isnt too late night/inconvenient hours.

however even without doing so it still sounds way better than the C3 at much softer volume

I know this is the audiophile sub forum, but no need to be so snob bro

Successor R2850DB is back!

my target 2022 or so, hopefully got good sales/pricing and the speaker is still selling and not discontinued so soon
