You didn't say whether you run the poodles straight into the wall or into a power conditioner. Could affect the curliness factor and therefore the effect on sound in the room.
Why so many AQ Hurricane PC's for sale?
There must be 15-20 for sale on USAM alone, that seems kinda high. Is there something about them? Are they highly system dependant? I am browsing a good cable to feed a Power conditioner I have on order and saw so many of them for sale while searching.
