Cable auditions - Hard Work?

I must add that i did upgrade the inductors on my 2.7QRs after seeing the cheap factory inductors that came with the speakers (basically wire spools of copper wire)and it made a difference in the sound, particularly in the bass.On the other hand i...

Magnepan 3.6R vs. 2.7QR
Thanks for the information guys,i wish i could audition the 3.6QRs on my system, but i guess that is not possible (unless i buy them)I will try to arrange an audition with a 3.6QR seller.How about blown tweeters, is that a common problem with 3.6QRs?
