| Biggest Baddest Audio Cables Klinerm, thank you for the unsolicited kind words. I know you are careful about changes in your system, yet your leap of faith based on the shorter interconnects' performance has been rewarded, also confirmed by your friends. Many happy hours of l... | |

Price difference notwithstanding, it took me a long time to come around to owning Quad 57s years ago, ultimately moving on to other speakers with the same midrange magic, co... | |

| Anyone own the King Sound "King" speaker that can Grannyring, I should admit bias since I am a Sound Lab dealer, but given your room and associated equipment you might try to audition both. When considering such a product an audition is the only sensible way to decide. If cost is the primary conc... | |
