Any experience with Sonus Faber Electa Amator II?
I owned the Electa Amator II's with adjustable wood/iron stands for many years. I used them with an ARC tube integrated and I really enjoyed them. I ran mine single wired but replaced the metal jumper with Kimber Select silver jumper wires which I... 
Transparent or Nordost?
Bjesien, I've got BH LS speaker cables and was thinking of moving up the Nordost line. Was told RD LS was a big step up. Now that the old Norse series is available at 50% off would you still go for RD LS or Heimdall/Frey? Differences between the t...

Speaker Cables for Harbeth P7ES-3 -where to start?
I use Crimson Audio RM Musiclink with the 7es3's. They are within your budget and available for home trial. I agree with Drubin that it would be wise to try cables after deciding on your amplification. You can get some ideas from the Harbeth user ... 
What stands for Mag 3.6's work well?
I own Mye Stands for my 1.7's. The stands are very well made and available in several finishes. FYI, Grant owns 3.6's. His website is www.myesound.com. As Magfan points out there is a fellow who mods Maggies and replaces mdf with hardwood. I have ...

Tweaking the Magnepan 1.7s
Ron, my 1.6's were black with cherry trim but I like the look of the aluminum trim better. Although it may just be cosmetic, I think the aluminum stiles add a little stability to keep the mdf from doing any flexing whereas the wood stiles are plai... 
Tweaking the Magnepan 1.7s
My 1.7's are black with the black aluminum trim and can be seen on the Myesound website. The Mye stands provide more stability than stock stands. Bass is tighter and better defined. There is more clarity across the entire frequency spectrum with b...
