What beats an L5?

Just a note on the Wesmo versions sounding better acoustically than the CES versions: When I got my CES last year, I thought it had a very good acoustic sound. A couple of months ago, a customer...

My parents said college would ruin me. I'll never be respected in academia or the music business no matter how much experience I have. They had strong feelings about it.
