| 2017 Honest Cabling that doesn’t promote bankruptcy Belden cable from Blue Jeans Cable for interconnects would be a smart choice. Belden cable is used in the pro area, and is made in US rather than China.Put money saved into speakers and room treatment. | |

| Have you ever tried a pair of speakers and said this Is the last thing I will ever need. Looking to replace my aging B&W 801 Nautilus speakers, I did a little research and discovered that Vandersteen 7, Revel Salon 2, 802 B&W D3 or the Kef Blade would be very good contenders. I even toyed with Magnepans. That is, until I ca... | |

| Active studio monitors anyone? Recently purchased JBL M2 studio monitors driven by Crown amps with built in DSP. The quality of the sound is superior to anything I have ever owned or auditioned during the 50+ years I have been in this hobby which I began in the 60's with a AR... | |
