| Help selecting a power cord. I just can’t believe a power cord can much or any improvement. I would be curious if you could hear a difference with blind testing. | |
| Speaker size and soundstage I noticed a significant change when moving my towers away from the wall. However, the biggest charge came after adding a pair of Rel S2 Sho subs. The key is to dial the subs in with the correct crossover and to dial in the volume. I think the m... | |

| I'm here for the sharing, not the snobery Williams 53b,you are a great example of what we are talking about. Another put down cutesie remark. Do you feel better now. Did you retain your snob status? | |
