| JBL everest? JBL is relaunching the L100 this spring. We'll see what that does at $4K a pair. | |
| Speaker Cables for my Focal Sopra 2's You may use what Bryston does use: Belden, or Van Damme. 12awg.I would go with a higher gauge like the 5t00up... it is a real 10awg (measured without insulation), and is less than 50pF/ft capacitance, less than 20uH/ft inductance, and resistance i... | |
| Zu Cable Libtec: Opinions/Comparisons Zu is light years ahead of most cable marketers. They use metals and geometries that are not well understood by mankind yet. | |
| Is the 2.5 way speaker the ideal home speaker? Possibly,, as long as the bass driver is in its own enclosure? | |
| Fake XLO cables from China I would thus guess you are a all cables sound the same camp. No no, not at all. There’s a clear audible difference between gauges, and between geometries that considerably change inductance or capacitance.However, between cables with resistance ke... | |

| Fake XLO cables from China Not only easy to fake but they sound just as good! It's disgusting! | |
| Upgrading speaker cables... belden 5000ue 12awg (true 12awg). PE insulation and OFC copper, twisted for low inductance.Cheap and way overkill for a 6ft length - it would be pretty much like no cable at all. | |
| Upgrading speaker cables... I am worried that your gearit cables are a copper/aluminium alloy, and that the connectors are brass or something.. | |
| LS-50 Speakers (Passive) Just put away the Totems this morning in order to listen to the Elac ub5, and wow am I impressed. Bass output is top notch, imaging and soundstaging are setting a really HIGH bar, not that much less than the LS50s.Some have mentioned that the LS50... | |
| Morrow Audio Cables Feedback Dr Morrow speaker cables are more insulation than copper.The upgrade path proposed is nothing more than various levels of thickness. Just like audioquest, who admits that the best bang for the buck is the type 4, 15awg for $200. Not much differe... | |
| Speaker cables for Focal Electra 1008be and Hegel combination. Supra Ply 3.4/S? Mr Mahul does not care about wires as long as it is copper and large enough... Why should you? | |
| LS-50 Speakers (Passive) Unfortunately, the quads have been on the market for 3 years now on no one cared for them in europe. |
