I have been brought up to date that MBQ is not what it was when I was on HS and college but I remember loving that sound. It was smooth and plush. It was soft yet full. What speakers today would compare and give me that plush sound? Not afraid to drop $500+ but not looking to go nuts either. I definitely want to avoid bright and metallic sounding it’s just not my preference. Been looking at components from JL, Morel and Focal but right now I’m buying blind. Thanks!
