And then what are you using for termination?

on the speaker side i use spades on the low end and bananas on the top. used to run all bananas but thought i should give spades a try ... i found no difference. at the amps i run spades on the low end - because thats all they'll take and bare wire on the high end because that works best.

the Canare speaker wire that Todd uses is the same that i use, s411 starquad. i think it may very well be the ultimate in budget wire as it sounds great and goes for around $1 per foot.

Looks like that will be a future purchase for me, then. Thanks for the tip!

but the biggest change that made me do the "wow" was amplification. when I went to the cx/mx2000 the change wasnt even close. a whole new level of refinement.

With some speakers I totally agree. The B&Ks really transformed the Thiels. The a/d/s/ not as picky.

I imagine the Yammies work well with the Vandies.

I dunno if you knew this, but I've read PSE components were a choice of Richard Vandersteens, and used in voicing the 2c models (or 2ce/i?).
