I’m pretty sure I’ve lost my mind...
I actually did end up going with some Analysis plus cables, they look like a black oval 8 (?) but instead of black they are purple.  They don’t have a model name on them.  Regardless, they sound really good as well and I picked them up second hand... 
Which vintage Craig's list speaker pair would you buy and why?
Stratus bronze is higher up on the line if I’m not mistaken.  i’ve heard the Golds and they sounded nice.  The bronze uses the same tweeter.  They were laid back even with the metal dome tweeter. 
I’m pretty sure I’ve lost my mind...
I agree with robob.  How the cables interact / synergy is key.  I guess there are so many variables between amps, speakers, cables, etc. Thats part of what makes the hobby fun!@ Larry, the difference was very minimal across the board but at the sa... 
I’m pretty sure I’ve lost my mind...
Just some more info, Im not with any company.  Picked these up at a local shop. They had them there for sale pre-owned and are asking under $1k for a 6 foot pair, which was still a hard pill to swallow.I had talked to this guy a couple days ago an...

I thought I’d go ahead and update the thread with what I ended up purchasing...sooo, I found a good deal on a B&K Reference 4420 and a McCormack Micro Line Drive.  I paid $625 for both so I came in under budget and ended up with a system that ...

Wow, That Kinki Studio exm1 looks to be insane...  I read Nonoises review (in addition to some online info / reviews).  Looks to be quite the integrated amp for $2200.  I’m not sure if I have that in my budget right now though, unfortunately.  We’...

LS50 Wireless fail, or is old gear that good?
I’ve been doing a bunch of listening this past week to both passive and active LS50’s.The passives need a bunch of power in my oppinion.  200 watts @ 8 ohms and 400 watts at 4 ohms starts to wake them up!  I have mine paired to a Rel T9i subwoofer...
