This cable game is making my head spin
Perhaps I wasn’t clear enough. I’m using the audio sensibilty impact se their lowest model. That would make all my cables that model. Giving me a baseline.   
This cable game is making my head spin
An update on the situation. I've decided to stick with audio sensibility as I only need one short pair of interconnects and two power cables to complete a full loom. I can then use this as a baseline for any further upgrades.  As for speaker cabl... 
Bookshelf dilemma
KEF LS50 Metas but maybe a tad small for your space without a sub. Do you want a lot of low end?  
No frills speaker manufacturers
Thanks for responses. I was very close to pulling the trigger on a madisound speaker kit before my last speaker purchase but I was sure I would mess it up somehow. I do have experience putting flat packs together as I've assembled a few dayton aud...

Amplifier for distributed bass array
I use Dayton Audio woofers as well for my DBA and use Class AB amps Nice. I need it to be 2 ohm stable with the way the subs will be wired and that’s another issue altogether. That takes the Dayton out of the picture and many others. Been looki... 
Speaker cable for passive subs
Thanks guys! Not sure what I'll get yet but it's relaxing knowing I don't have to spend a fortune on this part. I've got some long runs to the back of the room and was worried that if I wanted to keep sonic integrity it was gonna cost me a fortune.   
Is my power chord going bad?
what happens if you move these interconnects to preamp/amp connection and conduct the same experiment? Do you still get that hum? I havnt tried it but I'm ditching those cables regardless for peace of mind.    
Is my power chord going bad?
Lol totally!  
Is my power chord going bad?
My phono cable from turntable to phono pre (Audio Sensibility impact SE) is different from the rest of my interconnects (Vintage Western Electric). My next cable upgrade will be to all Audio Sensibility cables through the system. I didn’t want to... 
Is my power chord going bad?
Power "chord" good God lol. Thanks cellular device. You would think this thread is about an 80s hair metal band with that title 🤣  
Is my power chord going bad?
Right on. They don't touch regularly it was just something that happened that I noticed. I definitely know cables shouldn't touch.
