I took your advice and bought a pair of columbia's and I have to say WOW! They seem to be the best of both worlds,balancing coherency,clarity,and way better bass performance. Good advice.
What are good xlr interconnects for my system?
I have the krell sacd standard,400xi,and martinlogan mosaics. Curently I'm using both monster and audioquest diamondbacks interchanging them for different types of music. Monster has a more revealing up front sound thats great for rock. But for jazz I prefer the smoother more refined sound of the diamondbacks. What I'm looking for is a refined sound thats still transparent and dynamic at a reasonable price. About $200-$250 pr.
