Thanks for the responseJust finished going through that particular forum and not really very much info unfortunately on the HL compact,  just that it shared the same mid/bass driver as the shl5 at the time which was a TPX driver

Tiimlub,that kit looks interesting but is currently sold out.  Are they fairly easy to drive  without any wicked impedance  swings and how are they with tubes.  Sorry for hijacking the thread 
AV Receiver recommends
The Pioneer VSX -D 912 is an older model AV receiver no longer available new but if you can find one used (around $100.00- $200.00 used) you won't be disappointed, it's a great sounding two channel receiver that rivals more $ separates. It's only ...

I may be mistaken but the reason for terminating untinned copper wires is because it is susceptible to oxidation which does affect the sound. If they're tinned just use the bare wire with no worries

I was never one to experiment very much with speaker wire considering how expensive many of them are so I really can't compare the WE wire to brand X or Y but I can definitively say the WECO wire has made a big difference in my system and I only h...

The primary reason for terminating copper speaker wires is that oxidation sets in and degrades the sound but because the WE wires are tinned that won't happen so no sense in introducing another component like spades or plugs that could possibly ef...

Mikirob,I did read the Wordpress blog and saw the comments regarding the WECO cables being in another league compared to the WLM,. The wire just arrived yesterday and looking forward to connecting it this weekend.I also plan on purchasing the 8402...

Mikirob,Will do, I'm currently using the white lightning cables which actually sound pretty decent considering the absurdly low price tag but I'm also very eager to hear the WECO cables. You know tou have a winner when you're comparing these to ca...
