You could always just buy what you want and put up with the complaing that would be sure to come. That only last for a short period, well worth it imo. I'm lucky enough thet I do get to buy what I want, with in reason, with no complaining attached.

Some of them look pretty cool too!

Sound any better??? Does it matter? They look cool!

And I’m not being a smart ass….yes I am….no I’m not…..my speakers did to break in……or was it my ears….no, definitely break in….oh hell………..they still look cool.

In reply to:


I too, once made the unfortunate error of posting about my "discovery" regarding bi-wire Monster cables........you can guess the rest, I'm sure.

I just want to say....don't believe ANYONE, who gets so hysterical over speaker wires in the first place, (USUALLY haters) and secondly, about 100% of those that make polite, technical, or even the "flame" replies............have NEVER owned, or even heard the products they slam.




I felt the same way here at the very beginning after I purchased my M60s and started to talk about break-in.

And as for the speakers cables, interconnects, etc.. it is true... it all comes from people that probably never tried anything different from what they currently have and have had forever.

i also recently changed to the axiom cables sitting with me since i purchased them few months ago...i used the interconnects at the amplifie end and bare wire at the speaker end....to my amateur ears there was hardly any difference....or maybe there is !!!!!!!!

One thing for sure guys, no matter what you actually think about speaker wires, break-in, politics, or whether solid state amps are linear or not; it sure pays to have a good sense of humor!!

Sure are a lot of "Hot Buttons" huh?

But one thing I think I've noticed(and don't tell anybody I told you this)When all is said and done; if you simply say at the end: "I Bought it cause I Like It" Everyone will pretty much nod in agreement and admit that you probably did the right thing, cause we're all in this cause we like it and are just having fun!!




....well, except for Monster cables and those funny little table radios with the snaky speaker tunnels.






um..........and DON'T you Ever call your Axioms "Bright"!!
