Speaker cables for Vandersteen 3A Signature?
Hi,I was using Mogami 8 cond.cable(which is currently for sale)for the longest time.A great cable at a resonable cost.It bested many more expensive challengers in my system,most notably Mit S1 biwire.IMHO,I think MIT with Vandy's sucks.Finally,bas... 
PC recommendation for McIntosh 501's
Aldog,I use JPS Power AC-2's on my 501's.Extremely quiet black backround with superb bass and dynamics.I also use one on my C42 preamp as well.My quest for power cords ends with these.They're keepers.

Usher / Rapport Speaker Cables

Speaker Opinions
Guys,Thanks for all the replies.But I think my question was misunderstood.I'm not looking to part with my speakers,at least not at this time.And I'm not looking to compare the Vandy's against the two models I inquired about.Since one can't possibl... 
Want something more forgiving than Vandy 3a sigs
Hi,I'm a Vandersteen owner(3A's)and agree with the other Vandy owners who have already replied that these are not a bright sounding speaker at all but rather a very natural sounding one.That being said,if a speaker with a forgiving treble is what ...
