| Speaker cable termination your cables aren't worth sending to the manufacturer for re-termination. lugs are readily available in all qualities (at least in the us) & are easy to install on your own. if you have trepidations as to your soldering skills, find a friend, h... | |

| Audio & the Emperor’s new clothes. classicaudio: i've been in this hobby since the 70's, too. (actually, the late 60's, if the truth be told.) the 1st system i remember "blowing me away" was powered with a levinson (the man, not the company) amp, using a stax pre and b&w speaks... |
