Help me choice Audioquest speaker cables
I read many responses on this forum that changing cables make a big difference. What has been your experience with speaker cables "jasonbourne52", why do you feel it doesn't matter?  
Help me choice Audioquest speaker cables
RIght now these audioquest speaker cables will run me $6,000 used for a demo pair, the dealer said they were originally 12K for a 10ft pair. Our local dealer only represents Audioquest, so I am starting with their brand to learn more.

Your not the only one "goofyfoot". When I owned the ML product two decades plus ago, I ran the system with a two channel digital amp manufactured by Mark Leviston, it worked very well, a huge amp, with a line-stage Audio Research preamp.   
What are your top three live concerts of all time?
Another much the same, was The Bee Gees playing on a wooden stage in a parking lot of Soutgate Shopping Center, Maple Heights, Ohio in 1970 or 1971?.   
What are your top three live concerts of all time?
Not so much a concert; Joe Walsh playing in the basement of a bar near Kent State University Campus in 1980, dark, loud students with pitchers of beer costing 1.50 a pitcher, and everyone enjoying Joe.

Okay everyone, lets pick 5 mono-block brands, all digital which fall into the same price point new as MC611. That should narrow down my choices of other brands currently still produced. Look forward to your opinions. It would be nice if we could m...
