[QUOTE="Catman"] Certainly sounds that way, to me.[/QUOTE] Sorry Beav, I thought you were being ironic. I do agree with you. "speaker cables can be crap and still pass along a great sound." As long as you follow the 5% rule, even the crappiest speaker cable such as [URL]http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=46[/URL] will give great sound. This would of course mean up to 1.5m for my Tannoys, or 0.6m for the Quads. :-)
