Tube Monoblock location? - Rack or near speakers?
Atmasphere,I would never want 35'long interconnects in my home like you have.I have tried numerous combination's with interconnects and speaker cables.My friends and myself all agree and all have longer speaker cables instead.Lower level signals p...

Tube Monoblock location? - Rack or near speakers?
