XLR interconnects

Hi sfall
Thanks for your comments and looking up the specs on the RSP 1582. I will be picking up the RSP 1582 in the near future. I have no plans on adding Dolby Atmos and DTS: X at this time and will just build a 7.1 setup instead. I may wait to decide which cable I should get although my dealer is offering me a nice deal for the unbalanced Audioquest Water rca interconnect cables. The comments on here from other members is much appreciated for sure. I'm still on the fence about it but may just stick with unbalanced interconnects. One thing is I always have the option of converting these to XLR interconnects at anytime.

That's a good choice. It's pretty hard to screw up with AQ. They sound good in just about any system. And like your dealer said, they can be converted to balanced at any time. AQ puts 3 discreet solid core conductors in they're IC's, so it's easy to convert.

Aside from all the pro/con arguments both ways, I prefer the more "positive" locking connection an XLR makes

There are locking RCA connectors, although they don't snap into place as an XLR does.

I hear you both on the locking portion of XLR connectors. I had some rca interconnects that were loose fitting. Although they didn’t’t come out I would question the build quality of the interconnect. Of course I could’ve just returned it, but felt as long as it doesn’t come loose I was willing to take that chance and live with it. Its all good and no problems even now.
