Speaker Cable Recommendation

Carl: Point well taken. My guess is your single. I'm married with kids, so compromise is a BIG part of my life. I've been an audiophile for about 25 years now. When I first got married I got out of it. I've been back into it for about 8 years now. It does'nt matter where my system is set up. The agreement between my wife & I is with the exception of the speakers (which must be small: thus I own moniters & a sub), she does'nt want to see any of the gear, regardless of what room it's in. In addition, having my system in the family room allows my company to also enjoy it when they are visiting. When everyone's out of the house, I can fully enjoy my system. This doesn't happen often but when it does, I cherish those moments. Don't get me wrong, marriage & kids are cool too. P.S. I know jumpers are'nt good which is why I made the internal modifications descibed above.

Kimber Select. These speaker cables were a big improvement over the harmonic tech (also good and in fairless, less expensive) speaker cables that I heard. If you have the money (and they aren't cheap) they're as good as I've heard.

Sagger - I feel your pain, I finally wore my wife down, I've had a dedicated room for some time now. In my old house I took over the living room! Who needs a formal living room anyway. Now I'm in the basement. No more sneaking in power cables, ic's or the like. She has accepted my obsession/hobby/disease, whatever it is. But... my problem now is I've got 2 college tuitions I'm paying and another one 2 years away!! How selfish is my family - they expect me to pay the college bill instead of upgrades to say Aeriel 10's or CJ Art - stuff like that. But I'll wear 'em down.

Keep on pluggin Pops... I know exactly what your talkin about. I put in a play room for the kids down stairs last year. Of course, my long term secret intention of use is that it will eventually be my dedicated room for audio(shhhh... don't tell anyone). Unfortunatly that's about 5 years away. Anyway, thanks for the sympathy.

OK, you guys have convinced me. I am make a prenuptual agreement contract that says I can do whatever is neccessary to achieve sonic nirvana when I get married :) Better yet, do any of the big audio engineers have daughters? ;)
