I ordered 8 meters of it on Sept 11 and it`s supposed to be here this Tuesday the 18th. Single run from my amp to Revel F52`s...replacing (hopefully) my MIT Music Hose 750`s that I`ve been using for quite some time now. Should be interesting.

Today I put a CD on repeat and have been playing the system at a very low volume. Should I be concerned about pushing my 300 Watt amp using these cables into my Revel speakers ? The cable length is 6 Ft on each side, single run. Technically from what I`ve read I should be ok but I just wanted to ask.

With the bass handled by 3- 6.5" woofers in each speaker I wonder if the thinner (16GA) would help in not over dampening them for a little fuller bass. Just a thought :)

I let them 'burn in' for about 12 Hrs. The very first thing I noticed was the bass didn`t have the oomph/weight that I`m used to. They weren`t as revealing as my old cables either and didn`t have the overall fullness of the MIT`s. I also noticed that I had to give it more volume to reach my usual listening level, because I have a numeric display I could readily see the difference. Not going to bother going to the 12 GA either because I sincerely doubt they`ll even get close to the MH750 Music Hose based on the characteristics/house sound of the Duelund`s I`ve had a few cables in my system (nothing expensive mind you) but the MIT`s are something special and they are back in and sounding great ! I DID make a set of jumpers from a left over piece so all`s not lost :) Was fun and interesting no matter the outcome. Steve

My speakers are Revel F52`s the published specs show an efficiency rating of 87.5 db 6.5 Ohm nominal 3.5 Min @ 373hz I was using a 6Ft length of cable run using the Duelund. The MIT`s are 8 Ft . My buddy has Zu Audio speakers with a 100 watt Rogue amp we`re going to try them just to see.
