| Power Cables on Subwoofers do Matter Congratulations @ciprian on jumping over that hurdle. For many this is a huge leap. Like me you now must be enjoying more realism in your music, and unfortunately less money in the bank account. This awesome thread deserves a bump :) | |
| Will increasing speaker cable AWG make a difference in sound quality? @danager Dude, that information is 43 years old. The US didn’t ban new asbestos building products for another 9 years after that article was written. We have learned much since then. | |

I have read some good things over the years, but I found this from their FAQ a little interesting: 6-2 Q: Is there a soni... | |
| Acoustic Zen Matrix Reference II vs. Absolute Copper IC's @stuartk I've been listening to the Hegel with the Silver Reference IC's. The sound can be a touch bright with some CDs and given that 1) the Hegel is much more resolving than the Wells and 2) I'd prefer more warmth if I can get it and still ma... | |
