Taralabs cables

No bi-amping just using an Audio Research Reference 75SE for both runs.

In regard to the jumpers I used high grade Audioquest as well as some top line Kimber and Nordost jumpers. Costs, over $1,000AUD.

The maker of the speakers, Colin Whatmough, always believed his would perform better if you used tri or bi-wired cables.

He also recommended bi/tri amplification as a further improvement.

Woogie59, You mind  me asking,  what was the retail cost of your speaker,s?

andrew9405, LOL?

As a rather colourful Australian politician(shades of Donald Trump) said when she didn’t understand the meaning of a question she was being asked, "Please explain".

audiolabyrinth, in answer to your question.

They currently retail here for $50,000 AUD.

Too expensive for my taste but I had lusted after them after I heard a demo conducted by their creator Colin Whatmough some years earlier.

The local retailer had had some on demo for some time and I thought them sold. That apparently fell over.

Was I interested I was asked?

I still thought they were too expensive but they offered me a once in a lifetime deal which included a full trade in price on my 2 year old speakers, a 40% discount on RRP, plus a 1.5metre Nordost Tyr XLR interconnect cable and a DEQX pre-amp/room correction processor(value $5,500) they were using with the speakers. They would delivery and install and room calibrate using the DEQX.

So I took the plunge.

Since then I have embarked on upgrading my components to get the best out of these exceptional speakers.

I have no regrets but I have a much lighter bank balance.

Its been a great journey.
