Speakers to hang on to for LIFE
On Prinicple, I will not hang on to any stereo component for life; Stereos just aren't that important. :)Regarding whether I believe I will still have the same speakers ten or even five years from now, it's unlikely. With the rapid changes in tech... 
What is "biwiring"?
In my world, using two separate cables for biwiring is better. I tried the single cable/double pair speaker termination approach. It was clearly not as good as utilizing two pair of cables. Doesn't matter, spades or bananas. If there's four leads ... 
What's your profession? Age?

Tube Amp for Magnepan 3.6 - Rogue Zeus/VTL-MB450
Greetings, There is no question that any Maggie is going to "come alive" with gobs of power. I have the 1.6's, and I thought I had good sound running a Threshold T-50 (50w class A). Man was I wrong! Lately I bought a 5 channel Outlaw at 200wpc. Fo...
