Audioman58, I am not trying to shy away from any issues that may be there with my system but would like to correct you on some of the data you have provided:
1. ATC SCM40 has a nominal impedance of 8 ohms and it has a very flat impedance curve. It never dips below 6 ohms during actual performance.
2. The cross over point for the midrange to tweeter is 3.5khz and not 2.5khz. I hope you know it is a 3 way speaker.
3. Symphonic line amplifiers are extremely conservative in their ratings. They put out loads of current. My amp is a full dual mono design with a current capability of 60 amps per channel and stable to 1 ohm. It is class A/B but is biased high in class A mode. It is possible that you may not have come across this German amp because they are not popular in US.
Coming back to AM cables, as I said I took it around to couple of other audiophile's places and came out with the same conclusion. No, none of us had AM speaker cables, we were only trying the interconnect. We also got to try the liquid air digital IC. Very similar signature. If you really think one needs to have the Liquid air speaker cables as well in order to like the interconnects wholeheartedly, well I am not sure if that should be a criteria but we didnt fulfill this criteria for sure.
BTW, I have also heard the earlier Sorcerer 4D interconnects in my system and thought they did everything amazing except the midrange tonality which was drier to my ears. The liquid air is definitely better than the 4D but still that midrange is the weaker zone IMO. Somehow I think it is Jerry's signature sound to keep everything clean, transparent, smooth, fast and uptight but something not very accurate about midrange (he may not be concentrating as much towards that zone). It is pkay because every designer has a sound in his mind which he works towards and it may some detractors as well (like me), not a big deal I suppose.
