Thanks for the replies everyone, I got my 90$ back, it felt kinda weird going in there and saying I didnt hear a difference they sounded surprised, and surmised the problem to possibly be 'lamp wire' to my speakers - Im not so sure about that I use 14 awg for all my speakers, made by acoustic research, and its kinda nice, seems to do the job...the guys there said something possibly about the rubber stuff surrounding the wire to be kinda crappy or something, I cant remember, perhaps Ill buy some Axiom speaker wire now that I have a credit card
