I was surprised today at opening this thread as it was mine from a while back at the time I had the 700cx and was curius if switching to mono's would be worth it. I never did switch and still have the 700cx. At the time I was not using it in cast I was using an ML 380s preamp and have sense changed to an Evo 202 preamp using Transparent cast cables. And I installed an IEC on the 700cx amp.I would interested in the answer to Carz question the fuses.I also recently changed from Sophia 1s to WP 8s.I would be also be interested in thoughts on spkr. cables with this combination that wouldn't break the bank dont't laugh right now I'm using AZ Satori's but I've been looking at AZ Absolute,Kimber 3033,PAD Venustus Praesto or Cardas GR all in the same price range 6 ft. used except the PAD.
