Running out of cash you say?!
You and me both Mike!
(The Lamms are expensive, aren't they!)
My buddy, the one I mentioned with the M2.2s and the Eidolons, was using Audience Au24 speaker cables, albeit temporarily until he too got more cash. They sounded very, very good. However, being in the upgrade mood, he moved on up to the Valhallas soon thereafter.
(What else, huh?! Seems like everyone is going to those, but man, are they expensive!)
After I bought my M2.1s, I heard his system again, this time with the Valhallas replacing the Au24s. While the Valhallas are a slight improvement over the Au24s, it is just that, a slight improvement. Therefore, I bought his Au24s and bought another pair (as I biwire my Revel Studios). At some point, I will move on up as well, but for now, I am content with the Au24s. Price used is around $500 for a 2m pair. (BTW, I do like the Nordost sound, as I have just bought a pair of Quatro Fils for my preamp to amp connection and it is wonderfully detailed, and yet very musical.)
Good Luck in your search!
