Just wondering about speaker cables
It won't hurt anything. You're just increasing your wire gauge is all. But using two totally different cables won't give you the best of both, more like all of each:-)Give it a try and see what you think.

Rank the tweaks, geeks!

I run my C7s with either a 40 watt tube amp(Aric Audio) or a 100 watt ss(Modright).The ss has a sense of ease when listening loudly but I can't choose a favorite really. The speakers respond very favorably to different footers and speaker cables. ...

Considering a POSSIBLE replacement for speakers. Opinions?
@larry5729 just a glitch I'm guessing. The same thing happened the other day on another thread and they are working to correct it.Others suggested direct sale companies also.Try again? 
Buying advice
A cheap tweak for too bright for your taste speakers is to double up the gauge of your current speaker cables.For example if your cables are 14 gauge,buy a roll of 13 or 14 speaker wire,cut it to length, strip the ends,insert in the holes of the b...

If you own quality monitor speakers you want to read this new review
Well, their speakers seem to have some very positive reviews. They are very attractive to boot.But I'm not totally understanding why that sub would be superior to a couple of carefully set up conventional subs.I would love to compare and listen fo...
