Best speaker cable for Krell/Dynaudio?
Hi Bo1972Not to hijack this thread but what do you recommend as speaker cables between Krell FPB 200c and Vienna Acoustics The Kiss?Is this Krell considered lean and harsh or musical?Thanks 
Cardas Golden Ref vs Magnan Signature vs MIT S1.3
I have contacted the Cable Co. I am not in the US and cannot avail myself of their borrowing services. They keep recommending Audience 24SE which I understand is on the lean side.
