| Nordost Tyr 2 Spkr Cables - Alternate for less $$ Thanks to everyone for your input. After listening for another week I bought the Nordost Tyr 2 speaker cables. The price was good enough that I can resell if I decide to do a cable shootout and they end up losing.Best Regards,Jim Perry | |
| Upgrade from Proac Response 1SC? Cooper52,As an owner of many Proac speakers, past and present, I have a few thoughts to share with you. I have owned Proac Tablettes, Studio 1, Response 2, Studio 140, Response 2.5 and currently the Proac response D-40r. So that is a lot of Proac ... | |
