Great venue to have fun with each others' choices and MFG's products.A.P. Speaker cables RULE!!! Never tried the ic's. I'd like to see a print-out of how fast sp wire used sells / and the best percent of cost recouped; at this site. There is a reason!! (YMMV)

I have also found Krell amps to sound harsh particularly given the price points.
