| A Perennial Debate For Which I Seek Help I talked to Richard Vandrsteen about this wire issue. He uses specific wire for specific applications. A particular wire to connect the crossover to the tweeter as an example has different properties than the wire from the crossover to the midrang... | |

| recommend excellent balance XLR cable for me plz? don't laugh...anti-cables. View another thread regarding these. | |
| Speaker cable length I think these are too long. I put my power amp between the 2 speakers and run a 6 feet length of speaker wire to the speakers. The interconnect from my preamp to amp is about 16 feet...works fine. In any case, I would have equal lengths of wire fo... | |
