Biwire Martin Logan Aerius? What cables to use?
Hi all,I find bi-wiring makes a difference especially for ESL speakers. I also agree essentially that solid core copper cables make a good synergy with ML speakers. The rule of thumb basically is that if you can afford to bi-wire then it is worth ... 
Magnepan vs. Martin Logan
I have been extremely happy with my Aerius i's and wouldn't trade them for the world. Cwlondon's explanation is quite satisfactory. I have heard a lot of negative remarks pointing to "cohesion" issues. I have absolutely no problem with the panels ...

PS: Typical McGowan Sound? -- HCA-2 & Classic 250
Why bother with reviews? Just audition the HCA-2 with the free 30 day trial period from PS Audio. Since you haven't even listened to this amp at all, it makes no sense reading what others have to say. When a unit is priced as low as the PS Audio a... 
Anyone heard the Pass x.2.5?
I own a Pass Labs X2.5 and I can honestly say that the sound is very neutral- the circuitry is the same as the more expensive X1 with only the difference in the seperate power supply for the X1. I have paired it with the PS Audio HCA-2 and it make...
