    Rega Planar 3 vs 1970s Technics SL 1400

    Kinda crazy that no one is in the KEF camp, but the Dynaudios actually did sound better to me. The KEF Ref 3s are more expensive, but was offered a bit of a better trade in deal for my Monitors, but gonna go with Dynaudio cause I dig them the most! Thanks to you all!
