Single driver full range speakers
I had a pair of Rethms with Supravox drivers. Nice, but not close to Tocaros  
Single driver full range speakers
Tocaro are up to 3-way and without any crossovers.    there is nothing which sounds faster, easier and more fun. A piano sounds like a piano, a guitar like a guitar      
Room Analysis-How?
Lots of people trust Mitch https://accuratesound.ca/ lots of people say that the DIY approach will be disappointing as apparently it needs a lot of experience to get it right...  
What I have found - Makes a good Cable !
Thanks @williewonka  I as well by into the Eddy Currents idea and hence solid core for me. What is the longest IC you built? I might need to go with one 2m (6' 6") long IC...  
What I have found - Makes a good Cable !
Also, you dont discuss wire gauge. Are there general rules? Many think more is more, I am pretty sure thats not correct....resistance should not really be an issue. If you run 500w into 4ohm you get ~10amps and hence a 16awg should be plenty. Most... 
What I have found - Makes a good Cable !
Thanks @williewonka and all I guess it's like with cooking, only good ingredients give an excellent end result. However the recipe (aka geometry) is the "secret sauce". According to its own data this seems one of the lowest capacitance cables ou...

@williewonka did you experiment with parallel conductors? Not necessarily just with packing tape but maybe also other means to keep a defined distance between signal and ground

It says  "Featuring Singular™, the first high-rate, high-bit-depth delta-sigma technology" is delta-sigma not just another term for DSD?  
Diy interconnects RCA connectors.
@dayemo  Thanks for all the info. Do you have a picture of your ICs made with packing tape?  
Looking for Solid Core Speaker cables
thanks all!   12AWG seems WAY too thick for -at least- high efficiency speakers. Too much copper IS detrimental.

I hear you @pindac  my situation is different. The system IS settled but the current cables are borrowed. I need to find a solution which sounds equal or better than the current one.

@noromance take the speed and smoothness and beauty of your quads and combine it with the oomph and authority of your spendors and you get an idea of the tocaros  
DIY Helix Geometry Cabling
@williewonka no, they dont. XLR would not be an issue obviously.  I'll ask the brain behind the amps and pre-amp what he thinks...maybe there is even a way to add balanced inputs....  
DIY Helix Geometry Cabling
Ah, very interesting idea, just the amps around the speakers....hmmm...let me think about that idea ;-)  This room, while fantastic and large is however also a living room (with a wife and she does not really like this whole thing...). But yes, I...

Thanks @noromance Do you have experience with Tocaros?
