@lak that's the type of response I was hoping for so that's why I mentioned my equipment and my preference of sound. Based on what you stated I would favor the gold plated. I converted to a tube amp especially with the GL KT77 for a smooth, warm sound. My sub gives me enough slam that is not overwhelming. Another factor is my small listening room and I sit less than 8 ft from the speakers.
Since I would most likely favor gold plated, how would that compared to the brands mentioned above?
