Hales Transcendence 5 speakers endgame?
If you have not upgraded the internal wiring of the speakers, I strongly suggest you do, for it will yield yet another worthwhile improvement. no it won't. The speaker would measure exactly the same no matter what wire you use.

Marten speakers
Marten has introduced the new Parker series. They are still wooden boxes with drivers in 'em. No frequency response graphs given by marten. Just the usual marketing BS. What makes them better than any other speaker especially given the extortio...
