| New Speaker Cable for New System Find a dealer who sells FMS cables. I am using them with my Nautilus 805s. For a small mini monitor I do not think a better cable exists! | |
| Need some help choosing speakers....... I would give a pair of B&W 805N a try. They have a 90 db efficiency rating and not that fussy to set up. Although, I am not sure about placing them on a bookshelf. |
