Any opinions on the new Transparent MM

Rex: It's not that I do not like transparent sound - as I said, I liked it a lot. In fact AQ Everest and Kilimanjaro were very close in overall sonic signature - natural and full bodied, especially in lower midrange. The problem is that both Everest and Kilimanjaro are simmply BETTER, not different.

Well, I don't think the pair I tried was better, but that's OK. If you like them, they are better - for you/your system.

Rex- you should give a double run of AQ Kilimanjaro a try with your 5As. With my 5As they are simply THE best speaker cables I have used. They opened up the 5As in an absolutely incredible way. I'm also using Sky from my EMM DCC2 to my power amp. The new AQ cables easily beat the Stereovox Reference cables I was using prior.

What is "house sound"
