Which MIT speaker cable?
Thanks gents, appreciate you taking the time to respond. My local dealer has a ten foot pair of Transparent MusicWave Bi-Wire, new, he'll let go for $300. Sounds like a reasonable deal, and since my system leans a little towards the bright side, d...

Rox, check out the Cardas site http://www.cardas.com/insights/roomsetup.html for speaker positioning, follow the suggested formula and see how your set up sounds. I'd suggest trying this before you change any gear. Winks are cool, Jeff

A bad situation
Thanks, appreciate you taking the time. I had a similar situation occur, where the seller sold me an Audio Refinement Complete integrated amp rated 10/10 and when I got it one channel was dead. He refused to answer any of my emails, I was sure ups...

What kind of music do you listen to? Is this a two channel only system, or also meant to be used as a HT set-up? Budget for speakers? Any physical limitations in terms of placement? Jeff 
My Stan Warren DVD Player Arrived Yahoo
Ed Meitner was a proponent of cryogenically freezing wires, he told me about it 15 years ago. I never really bothered to get around to it, which annoyed Ed. He accused me of being an "audiophile" rather than a "tweak". In hindsight, Ed was right. ...
