need your help again.............

I thought the cobras were great until I heard the xlo, so my advice would be , if you don't have much spare cash go for the cobra but if you have a little more keep the xlo in mind. But at the end of the day try as many cables as you can and buy what fits your budget and sounds good to you. The xlo reference ( nos type 1 I think) that I bought cost $350 Australian . But were terminated with top quality wbt bananas by my dealer. In my system they better the cobras in every area. You can look at my system in the systems pages. Hope this helps. Cheers

pops110 got a pair of used taralabs vec 2's, from the cable guy as suggested by the krell guy. they did sound somewhat different than the aq's i brought. will try the xlo's as well. thanks for your advice.

No problem, hope it doesn't cost you too much trying different cables but it really is the best way to find out what works best for you. Cheers
