Synergistic reference cables with Rogue Mono block

Opinions on Onix Reference 1 monitors??
There is no comparison. The Onix is hands-down the best choice. Strictly from a build quality standpoint, nobody can compete with the cabinetry, and the driver selection at this price point. As far as the sound, again with the quality of component...

I myself would recommend a UFW 12 sub with R-DES digital equalization from AV123.com. They have a fast, and musical bass response, and the controls on the back of these units allow for a high degree of flexibility. The R-DES is basically a room co...
