    SRA for Opus MM2

    Having already spent a lot on the Transparents, I said WTH and tried Ohio Class SRA platforms under the speaker cables, and the result was stupidly good. Better extension on both extremes, body, dynamism, drama, everything. I do not know if anybody tried this before but it is definitely...
