| Same Wiring of Speakers and Speaker Cables I would think there would be some synergy in having internal speaker wiring and speaker cable from the same manufacturer. In my case, I have JA Pulsars, which are wired internally with Cardas, and I use Cardas GR speaker cable. | |
| Upgrade Question @soix Good suggestion. Thanks. From an R2R perspective, that may mean something in the Denafrips lineup. | |

| Amps for Joseph Audio Pulsar 2's? I've got the JA Pulsars (v1) and have been using them to great satisfaction with a BAT 225se. | |
