what mid priced cables should i buy?


i have a brand new integrated krell 300i and a brand new rega planet 2000 cdp and 6 months old bose 901's (speakers)
(i think those 901's r my weakest link so far)
that whole system is connected with low end cables (interconnects and speaker wires worth less than 50 bucks alltogether)
1. i want to spend 350-450 dollars for cables, any suggestions? i dont know much about cables (and frankly im quite skeptic) but i've heard that mit terminator 2 speaker wires r decend, any input?
2. is buying used cables a smart thing to do?
3. the bose speakers has an external EQ\crossover ,
that is hooked up to a tape monitor loop onto the krell 300i
that requires 2 pairs of single ended interconnects,
is it important to upgrade those interconnect as much as the interconnect between the cdp and the integrated amp>?
(should i spend the same amount of money on the tape loop I.C as the krell to the rega I.C ?)
thanks for your help
happy holidays for y'all

And Dave, you'll do better to list your 901's for sale on eBay. I don't think you will recoup much of your purchase price for them on this site. Count on at least a 50% markdown even on eBay. But even if you end up with only $500 for them, you will have a great start on some really nice speakers. For around $1000 you can buy several different excellent monitors new: Coincident, Soliloquy, Krix, Tyler Acoustics Ref Monitors (on auction). There are literally dozens of choices if you also consider used at that price point. And if you go up to $2000, new or used, you will go insane trying to figure out which great speakers to buy. There's a LOT of product out there.
Yes, Yes, the best place to sell Bose is on eBay. You'll get more $$$ if you add pictures of the actual ones for sale if they are in good shape.


To those speakers: "You are the weakest link! Goodbye"

I've owned many speakers over the 30+ years I've followed
this crazy hobby, including original 901's. I agree...
they've got to go or you're mired in mid-fi forever.

One speaker you might consider is one I sold several months
ago, the Soliloquy 5.0 It is a supremely musical monitor,
obviously with limited low end response, but an excellent
start toward a truly high-end system. Later you can add a
subwoofer like a Rel Strata III (which I have now - terrific). The Soliloquy has outstanding imaging and
soundstaging, excellent transient response, and a very
musical harmonic presentation. I sold my pair for $475
and they are occasionally available on the newsgroups or
eBay for that range. They will comletely outshine the
Bose 901's.
Keep the Bose 901s. DO NOT SELL THEM. Build a Quadpod from Old Colony Sound Lab and use them as surround speakers. You won't believe your ears! Just my .02.
