Early stages of choosing replacement floorstanders
Hi English,I have about 96 hrs logged on my CM 10's now, and the first ~20-60 hours they went through a rough phase in that they sounded good but a little veiled, then after about 60 hours started to really open up big time and are sounding better... 
Speaker cables for B&W??
Hey CT,What I meant was, I read that B&W recommends a certain "spec" not brand when using a speaker cable so as not to have the highs rolled off. Not sure where I read that, but seem to remember it. But you never see such specs when researchin... 
Speaker cables for B&W??
Hi ZD,Understood thanks! I do realize what you said is true, and I am just using this as a basic fishing pond to get "general" thoughts as it at least helps with the initial basics of what at least has been used successfully with others with B&... 
Speaker cables for B&W??
Thanks for all the reply's aboue. I may try to get a pair of the MIT Matrix 12 biwire cables. Any experience with those anyone? If I am correct,they are the new version of the AVT 1's mentioned above. 
Speaker cables for B&W??
What are the prices of the Neotech's? Hard to find prices on most of these cables. On some of the MIT suggestions, I assume some of these are only available used?? Does not look like they offer much (New) under $1k.One of these may be it for me if...

Early stages of choosing replacement floorstanders
You might check out the new B&W CM10 and am loving what I'm hearing even though they are going through the break in period. I have super high hopes these are my last for years to come. They will pull music & HT duty as well. Retail is $4k. 
13yr old speaker upgrade
No not the same at all. Make sure when you listen they at least take off the tweeter protective covers that they ship with. I doubt the pair they have will be broken in yet unless they got them at least a month ago. Give us a report if you get to ... 
13yr old speaker upgrade
Hi Cisko,That's fine, good luck in your search, but no, the tweeter on top was not a last minute quick fix, that a little stupid to think so actually. Not liking it's looks is a matter of taste of coarse, but it sounds fantastic. In person they ar... 
13yr old speaker upgrade
I am going to suggest the new B&W CM 10's as well. I just took delivery of a pair two day's ago, and am breaking them in now. So far they sound awesome but BN tight, so will only get better with time. I bought them based on my owning & lov...
