Several months ago, Grammy-winning producer, Oscar-nominated songwriter, touring musician and studio wizard T Bone Burnett began soliciting recommendations for replacement speakers for the control room of his Electro Magnetic Studios.

How incredible a deal? Try three of them for…

I saw a lot of creativity, and a lot of usefulness, and a lot of both. There wasn’t one single product that was a…
