How good are the Audience Au24 SX speaker cables?
I use the AU24 SX speaker cables, which I purchased new, with my Magico A3 speakers. With the caveat that I have not tried other cables with these speakers -- also relatively new -- I find the SX's near faultless. Their bass in very tight and deep... 
Thoughts about the Magico A3, Revel Salon2/ Studio2
I own the Magico A3's and become happier and happier with my purchase as time goes by. My dealer told me they take about 200 hrs. to break in, and he was right. The earlier hyper-detail and too forceful bass have given way to magical realism (no p... 
Audioquest custom made triple weave design power cable (Storm Series).

Road trip to demo $10,000 speakers
Skyscraper,As one of the earliest purchasers and recipients of the A3's, may I offer a few suggestions to maximize their startling sound quality:1. They take a long time to break in -- 100-200 hours -- so be patient if they don't sound as good as ...
