XLR or single ended cables and why?
Tvad, I talked to one of the cable tech.rep last week and you were right on the fact that they did not know for sure what the heck they are talking abt. As a consumer, the " I think..." does not not worth a "shot" to me. They dance around the issu... 
XLR or single ended cables and why?
" For this reason, one should never use the one with(-) as braid shield."Tvad, would you please explain a bit more. Most of my ICs have one (+) connected to the pin the other (-) connected to the outer side of the ring on top of it is the barrells... 
Krell 300 il or 400xi or ? What would you do ?
Depends on what you have at the front end, 400xi could be very edgy or harsh or warm and smooth. PBJ Kimber is too harsh even thought it brings out the best in Krell top end. Audioquest is Ok for my taste, airy and smooth and warm. Harmonic Tech s... 
XLR or single ended cables and why?
Shadorne, Is it a big deal to have an extra increase of 6db with XLR ? That's a lot of extra juice. Running either at 4 or 8 ohm, It requires double in wattage power for each 3db increase. Isn't it ? BTW, I have my MD. pulled the wool out of my ea... 
XLR or single ended cables and why?
Sorry, It's the Krell 40oXi and the companion SACD Standard. Both has balanced connnections. I have numerous singled-ended RCAs from Kimber, H.T,Audioquest...Cablings are expensive nowadays and I am just abt going broke for my hobby.

Cemoore, I am also looking for the Krell SACD Standard to go with my 400 xi but quite a few people have complaints abt its problem of reading certain SACD and the noise created by the Phillip chip. Have you experienced any of the above? Thanks for... 
The best speaker you ever heard?
As folks at ML saying "happy listenning", to me the best speaker is the one that matching to the rest of your systems. There is no "the best speakers" in this imperfect world gorvened by the imperfect laws of physics. I have owned from JVC,Fisher,...

Thank you for all the inputs...I have narrow it down to the B&W 805 ( even though I used to own a pair of cdm9nt and I a pair of Sonus/grand piano/home and prefered the open mid-range of the Sonus). Due to my current room size, I need to down ... 
Krell 400 XI
Thank you for your response. I called Krell and they told me flat-out that it was the function of my bookshelf speakers as a result of lacking of bass. I just wonder if any other 400 xi owners who use bookshlef speakers having the same problems. I...
