That's great to hear! I can't wait to read your impressions! Also, post a picture if you could. I love seeing other's setups.

As for speaker wire I've heard good things about Audioquest.

Hey Jwglista.
Great to hear that you have them and they are sounding good.
I too would love to hear more of your impressions when they have a few more hours on them, and pics would always be welcome, as
Dark said.
I have read good things about Signal Cable, in terms of being a notch above the cheap cables, but no snake oil. Frank there at Signal Cable, is great to talk to and gives good, sensible advice, IMHO. I hope to get some of their silver cables one of these days.
Let us know what you decide and how things work.
And have fun listening!!!!!
