Installing Cardas Litz Cable?
You may want to try to melt some solder on the wire ends then crimp them. I use bare wire on the binding post and"prime" the bare ends with WBT silver solder. 
Speaker Wires on Carpet
Socprof, Rushton is right. Carpets will charge your wireswith static current. Twisting the cable conductor would not help reject static, that would only reject RFI.Cable elevators will help, you can also check the Nordost Cables webpage. They sell... 
What sub do "U" use ?
A pair of Linn AV-5150. They are used in a 2-channel system(stereo subs). Sound is great, the crossovers are set at 40hz.

Linn Sondek turntable & Linn Klout amplifier. 
Perfect Speaker Cables
Your best bet is to contact JMlabs and find out what typeof cable they use inside your speaker. After that try to match it. I am pretty sure that your amp binding post are mounted directly to the circuit board. That will make things easier, just m...

Why a second Vandersteen sub?

Abandonning Powered Speakers - Why?
I belive that Active speakers will limit the market for the manufacturers to those who haven't bought an amp yet or are willing to sell what they own. They do sound great,each driver with it's own amp and no crossover losses.My guest is that the m...
