I played with the XA100.5 for 2 years. It is an amp what can give a deep and wide stage. But the individual focus of instruments and voices are not that sharp. An often played too big in proportion. I played for 12 years with the Nordost Valhalla Loudspeakercable. But I sold it 2 months ago. I bought Audioquest Redwoos bi-wire loudspeakercabel recently. It is the only cable brand which I know well what does everything right. It has a deep and wide stage. Extreemly sharp individual focus of instruments and voices in the right proportions. I heard the shortest and quickest low freq. ever by a loudspeakercable. Even better than the Valhalla. The best black ( space between instruments, voices and air) I ever heard by far. Audioquest has all the talents/ properties you need in your system. Because normally you need more brands to get all the parts in your system. I will write a reviw about this cable in a few weeks here on Audiogon.
