@hifinut51 Wrote:  Just wondering if it is necessary to buy ultra-expensive XLR interconnects to get the most out these components. Maybe the article below can help you decided: 😎 Mike http://www.atma-sphere.com/en/resource-why-balanced.html  
All Pre 1970 Vintage speakers suck! Prove me wrong
@roxy54 Wrote: You’re wrong about Altec A7’s and Khorns, as well as some Electro Voice I agree! I like the JBL Olympus with S8R loudspeaker system and Electro Voice Patrician 800. 😎 Mike
