wiring monoblocks to speakers

Vicdamone, rough night? Why respond to me? You added nothing to the thread either. The help that you speak of is only more of the same old rhetoric that has been posted on this topic ad nauseam.

It brought back memories of one member who started a thread title STFA (Search The Freaking Achives). Where he vented at those posting benign, repetitive questions posted every other day. I wish they hadn't deleted that thread. I thought I handled it rather politely. ;)

Final verdict, some say short ic's long sc's, some say short sc's, long ic's. Problem solved.

Jmcgrogan2, your response to the original post was uncool. The guy is new to the forum, and you come across as some pompous and arrogant schmuck that's throwing a wet blanket over a sincere question by a new guy.

Just about every subject posted here has been discussed in some form or manner over the years. If we took your logic, there would be no need for new posts...just dig through the archives until you find something.

If someone posts a question here that you think has been talked to death..just keep moving and let others have their say. Please, keep that attitude to yourself, the forum doesn't need it.

To Tedweitz: Welcome to Audiogon! This is a great forum of great people that are willing to help you and answer your questions as well as they can. Please continue ask as many questions as you like and continue to partake in the discussions here. This is a really great group of guys.

Thanks guys,

I truly appreciate the immediate responds I got. I apologize for my limitations in searching the site. I have tried to Google the topic and looked at my Better Audio book and still could not find an answer.

As for my systems I have several 2 tubes one with Jewel Electra Pre and VTL 450 Amp feeding a 3.6 Maggies i have anther system with Rouge Audio Pre and MB and Audio Physic Virgo

My interconnects are RCA and not balanced.

I saw MB in the audio shows near the speakers and now that my daughters [ 4, 5] seem to be less likely to crawl - fall into the MB if they are on the floor.

Shorter speaker cables will allow me to buy fancier cables but then again I have not seen many long interconnects

I once had costume silver speakers wires with an old Quad II system and they gave me goosebumps but I was not able to recreate that experience since so any reconciliations now on exceptional reasonable wires would be truly appreciated too

Thanks again for this highly appreciated help

Ted

Oops, it flew away before editing it

So, I have several systems. two of them are tube systems: One is with Jewel Electra Pre and VTL 450 Amp feeding a 3.6 Maggies speakers that I biwire. The other system is a Rouge Audio Pre and MB feeding an Audio Physic Virgo speakers.

Ted,
I have monoblocks and recently positioned an equipment rack between the speakers with the monos between the rack and speakers so no cable is over 1M. Before that, I took advantage of positioning the monoblocks next to the speakers and used longer ICs and shorter SCs. I recommend your longer ICs be shielded to reduce EMI/RFI pickup. Some will disagree but it is my opinion shielding is generally a good idea for all ICs. Most commercial ICs are shielded.
