Upgrade bug - advice on amp or preamp upgrade from Ayre for Revel speakers?
Hi, 
Who makes budget speaker cables which are truly “good” or “exceptional” in quality?
Cullen Copper Speaker Cables $120 6ft. pr. Best Morrow SP-7, which cost many multiples more, in mid/high's, although the SP-7's are superior in bass performance. So I use Cullen's on mid's/high's and SP-7 on bass. Incredible value, notice Cullen n... 
Have ~$10-12k...what would you do?
I remember the SFL-2 having high quality and expensive parts so yours upgraded should be nice.Interestingly I just recently purchased a Vincent SA-94 Pre. I am pleasantly surprised that a Solid State Pre. at this cost can sound so good. Really dyn... 
Help with upgrading Pre Amp
Tube Pre-Amp: Vincent SA-T8, (upgade the crappy supplied tubes). Lovely, airy, wide, deep soundstage, has musicality in spades. Fully balanced. Best tube Pre. I've heard for anywhere near the money.Solid State: Vincent SA-94. Fully balanced. Can't... 
Morrow SP6 speaker cable break in
My SP7's ran in pretty much as the info. sheet suggested, down to when I removed them and placed them in again after a few weeks they took a number of hours to sound good again. Check my thread from earlier this year for more info. 
Amplification for Wilson Audio Sasha on the cheap
@kunalraiker   The Sasha's are deserving of a much,much better Pre. than an ME! That is a hugely limiting factor. Get a much better Pre. before you can leap forward in sound quality.Cheers. 
Malcolm Young......
R.I.P. Malcolm. Rock solid rhythm guitarist. Only a few weeks after his elder brother, the great George Young passed. Another great Rhythm guitarist not mentioned, Tom Fogarty. What a great Rhythm player!

@kunalraiker         It's difficult to answer when you still havn't given us an approximate amount of what you consider "cheap". Your "cheap" maybe completely different to another's "cheap." What Pre-Amp are you using? This could be a limiting fac...

@kalali    Yes the big Vincent Mono Blocks ARE awesome. Like your experience they have equaled or bettered some much more expensive/ highly regarded Amps. For the money they are outstanding.Would love to audition the DartZeel's mentioned and some ...

@kunilraiker     An ME850  will drive your Sashas, but IME there are Amplifiers that will sound much better.

Agree with atmasphere. Have heard Sasha's with ARC Tube Amps and they sounded very nice indeed.  
Mixing speaker cables on bi-wired speakers
As always, let your ears decide. Personally, I am very happy with Morrow SP7 on bass & Cullen on mids/high's on my Revel Ultima Studios.

@kunalraiker Depending on what you consider cheap. I suggest Vincent SP-998 Mono Blocks. Just fantastic driving my Revel Ultima Studios. Much better sounding than Krell's and ME driving the Revels. Would expect similar driving Sasha's. 
Anticables, Morrow Cables SP1 or PNF Cables
@tblankaI I went from Morrow SP4 to SP7, used on my bass drivers on Revel Ultima Studios and  they are significantly better. However for significantly less money for driving mid's & high's I find the Cullen Speaker Cable better, but not as goo...
