In need of speaker cable help
You might try XLO Type 6, with a single run for the highs & a shotgun run for the mids & bass. These will give you all the qualities of the type 5 without the expense. The detail & soundstage will be great, lots of width & depth. T... 
Good percussion recordings
I agree with Jim, but you had better have the volume control in your hand. This CD breaks equipment!!!! One killer CD if your system is up to it. Enjoy. 
Speaker Suggestions?/Advice Needed.

Your Listening chair
I must say this is one of the neatest topics I have heard discussed. I use a traditional wing back chair. I don't think is the best chair for listening, but certainly is one of my favorites for falling asleep while listening. By this time I am sur...
