| Thiel 3.7 I'm going to be at Thiel on the 9th and will audition the 3.7s. If they can get close to my 7.2s I might weigh my options about downsizing to a pr. I have my 7.2s in a room to small right now.(although they sound great) I'm hoping they will be clo... | |

| Audioquest - IC especially - are these smooth or Flemke, Passive or not, you are wrong if you think cables are not able to swing the sound of your system one way or the other. Compare some of the solid silver cables out there to some of the gold alloys and then tell me the components have just c... | |
| Audioquest - IC especially - are these smooth or They are smooth and very detailed, best soundstage I've heard from any cables in my system so far. I use Cheetahs and Skys. I love them, but the wife is not as impressed as I am. She thinks they are a little to bright. |
