Mapman, a have a very low level system...vintage sansui sp-5500 horn speakers, marantz pm 7001 integrated amp and matching marantz cd player, dh labs power plus power cables, very very cheap copper interconnects from Wal-mart, Synergistic Research alpha quad active speaker cables. My system has never ever sounded this Damn Good! It sounds like a whole new system with these maestro outlets in it. I was thinking about upgrading my gear but NOT anymore! My (horn speakers) with (cheap solid-state gear) completely disappeared now!...
