| Speaker recommendations please I've spent time with both the McCormick and Butler amps and think they match great with Focus Audio speakers (disclaimer, I am a Focus Audio dealer). With those amps, I'd also take a look at Salk Sound speakers and possibly SP Tech (both of which ... | |
| quality jumpers I can't tell you the specific differences between the ones you mentioned asides from the obvious differences...(eg. one is copper, one is silver...doh!). However, based purely on anecdotal experience (not scientific), I would recommend using a jum... | |
