It looks like the majority say repair my TARA LABS APOLLO cables.  I think most feel there isn't much of difference in sound between cables?  Problem is, I have not heard anything but what I have been using in my system to compare.  Might find som...

I talked directly with Audioquest and he said bi-wiring sounds much better.  Then I watched a video produced by Paul at PS Audio and said with the quality of speaker wire today there is no need to bi-wire.  He said he doesn’t bi-wire.  He did say ...

I wonder what I would hear differently than what I have now? 
REL vs JL AUDIO
There is no question about this ….REL.  if you can play 2 and place them in the corners for best sound.  I have a pair of S2’s and they changed my sound significantly.
