$16K new/used speaker question?
tom_hankins,I've been trying to upgrade my Aerial 7Ts. 16K sounds like a lot of money, but I had to spend a little more money also. I love YG Sonjas, but they are out of my price range. I ended up with Monitor Audio PL500s and I'm very happy.  
Cardas Clear Speaker Cables - From cable skeptic to beliver in one fell swoop
stringreen,I'm sure I had the older design, it was a few years ago. I'm very happy with my WireWorld cables and my entire system. For the first time I see no need to change anything.

I had ClearDay Double Shotgun cables a couple of years ago and thought they were very good.

Cables are system dependent; therefore you can't get upset when someone doesn't like them. I too tried Cardas Clear in my system and found them dark, without detail. If they're great in your system, simple enjoy them.

WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH WATTS?
Power, watts or amperage isn't going to tell how an amplifier will sound compared to another. I can only provide you my real life experience with Jeff Rowland products. I had a Jeff Rowland Continuum S2 Integrated Amp. The S2 is rated at 400 watts... 
Has anyone found Audio Nirvana?
After many, many years, and much listening I'm finally done. Going to RMAF last year really helped me understand what my preferences were. I changed all of my electronics, cables, source and mostly recently purchased speakers. What I was missing w... 
Subwoofer
received my Monitor Audio PL500s and can honestly say, I don't need a sub. I'm really happy that I sold my subs. This is my first "full range" speaker and right out of the box it sounds very good. I've posted a picture under virtual systems and wi...

Mesch,I've owned Martin Logan Depth i, HSU, SVS Ultra and now the JL Audio F110s V2s. I have dual F110s with the CR-1Crossover. I prefer the F110s over my previous subs. That being said, I'm selling my subs, crossover, and Aerial 7Ts to purchase M...
