Very interesting and great writeup. The 3 bulk commercial box cables I sent are:

Red- Belden 18/4 securex Fire Alarm Cable made into 12/2 Licorice cable
White- Prima 16/4 Speaker Cable paired into 13/2
Gray- Belden 10/2 speaker wire from Blue Jeans Cable

I would like to hear what you think about a bi-wire setup with the gray on the woofer and white on the Mid-tweet on your M5HPs with jumper removed. That is how I’m running mine right now and liking it.

My takeaway was similar in the bass. The red cable was horrible. Honestly, I should try a single run of the red and see if it is better as 15/2 (18/4 paired down). But system sounds too good to muck with now. smile

So does this mean we are both crazy?! Or....
