Interconnects: solid or hollow core wire?
Pmboyd, I'll email you to not promote my product.But to answer your question about the difference.Sonics are more open and and imaging is pinpoint.The depth I've been getting is spooky.Solid core has allowed me to reach the true three dim. soundst...

I love the solid core sound. I've listened to many many IC's and settled on solid core for my system.JW Audio

The GX300 is a beatiful speaker that performs very well.I think for the money you can do better in the used department here on AG.Fit and finish is exceptional with the GX300 though. 
Small family living room floor-standing speakers?

Your best chair you listen to your gear
I've set in a few Ekornes Stressless chairs and found them over priced and over rated.The arms were to low and the headrest just wasn't that comfortable. I guess it's just what your used to.
