Interconnects: solid or hollow core wire?
All Solid Core DNM Wire in my system. DNM HFTN IC's and the Stereo version speaker wire. Very natural and a good bargain. Do a search and read all about them. 
great bookshelf speakers vs 12-18 k floor speakers
My room is 15' x 21' x 8.25' basement room. I have had largish floorstanders Snell A IIIi and Snell CV. Full range single driver systems from Omega (Compact Hemp, Super 6 Alnico, Super 8 Alnico XRS, all augmented by a pair of Deep Hemp Subs)and Lo... 
Speakers free of grain, glare and steel?
Unsound and Mapman are spot on in their concerns regarding high eff speakers.I went from a Lowther DX4 (103db) Medallion and all Audio Note Kits tube system (dac, pre,and amp) to a Class A SS integrated system. The Shelby+Kroll monitors are 87db, ... 
Speakers free of grain, glare and steel?
Pmboyd,What will you be driving said spealers with?As noted above electronics on the front end do have an effect on the speaker end. As with speakers, all amps and sources are not alike.If I missed that info from a previous post, my apologies.Chris 
All time favorite speaker cables
DNM Precision for speakers >90db and DNM Stereo for speakers <90db. I have used both at different times and love the way that DNM conveys music.

Best Cables for around $500
I love my DNM unbalanced IC's. They can be made in balanced also. Very revealing yet super smooth. Great on acoustic music.Good-luck,Rodge 
Speakers free of grain, glare and steel?
Shelby + Kroll...I ended my search with a pair of the Nano Monitors and (2) Woffer Monitors. The cleanest most natural speaker I have ever owned. A pair of B-stock Nano's and one Woffer might be had at your $2000.00 price point. I'm driving them w... 
Name your favorite sax solo.
The Big Man Clarence Clemons' solo in Jungleland! God rest his soul,Chris 
MiniMonitor 33lbs w/realistic vocals,not bright.
Look into Shelby + Kroll Nano Monitors with a Woffer Monitor. These will work well for you. Smooth and silky with loads of good clean bass. 
Interconnects for a Rega Apollo CD and amp/pre-amp
I'm using DNM HFTN (High Frequency Termination Network) IC between my dac and int-amp. The HFTN takes care of all the nasty RFI floating around. The closest to having no cable at all. Check them out you'll be glad you did.Rodge 
Have 300b MB want a killer pair of Hi-Eff speakers
Do you have 8w 300b or is it a push-pull 16w design? 
Biggest Baddest Audio Cables

Biggest Baddest Audio Cables
I went from some Biggest Baddest cables to the thinnest and best sounding that I have ever heard. For 10 years I was using Virtual Mode IC"s and loved them until I took a leap of faith and tried the DNM IC with the HFTN's installed. WOW! these cab... 
sibilence....any cures out there?
Swampdog, Try some absorbtion at the first reflection points along the side wall and ceiling, if possable try some on the back wall also. Sibilence can also be caused from the high frequencies bouncing around the room.
