| Speaker cable frustration for Merlin vsm mme Costly cables does not mean better sound. I too am using Anti-Cables...compared them to Cardas, Purist, Nordost, Kimber, etc.... all top their lines, and came away with Anti-Cables which sound just so much more natural in my system. Others may hav... | |
| No love. Why? All too often the posters on this site are willing to spend your money to validate their own prejudices. If you're happy with your speakers disregard these "recommendations". There will always be disagreement. Watch this...."those who drives a Cor... | |
