MoFi Sourcepoint 888 Speakers
@pryso thanks for the update, very interesting, I'm glad to hear the speakers are working out for you.  
Has anyone switched from Class AB/A to Class D? Was it better? Was it worse?

Veritas Cables a new brand that I found
@996turbo911 I don't think you can go wrong with the Aperta speaker cables, they are very good also. They would be good on your additional system IMO.

Considering switching to XLR cables,
