Re: What are the Potential Improvements Going from 12 Gauge to 9 Gauge Speaker Cables?
Could it be because the current only has to go from point-to-point inside the cabinet? :skeptical:

What are the Potential Improvements Going from 12 Gauge to 9 Gauge Speaker Cables?
Generically speaking, what improvements (if any) might I expect to hear going from a pair of 12 gauge speaker cables in an 8 foot length to the same brand and length of 9 gauge cables?

Re: Thinking of .7 or 1.7i
I have my .7s on the acrylic bases which elevates them off the floor a few inches and keeps them vertical with no tilt. An added bonus is that I think they look better on these stands than they do on...

Re: Thinking of .7 or 1.7i
Because the room is so small, I prefer the tweeters on the outside because I'm forced to keep the Maggies closer together.

Re: Thinking of .7 or 1.7i
I've had a pair of .7s for a couple of years now and I love them. When I bought mine, I also auditioned the 1.7s but came away liking the sound of the .7s better. I have a small dedicated listening...

Re: electical power delivery from utility to rack - for the uninitiated
Unfortunately, I don't have authority over 'all power'. I only have control over the cable that come down from the power pole behind my house. That's what I concern myself with.

Rather than theorizing how well the PS Audio regenerators work, you can order one and try it out in you own system for free. They will pay the shipping back to Colorado if you're not satisfied with...

Don't confuse a regenerator with the many filter type products on the market; they are very different animals.

Re: electical power delivery from utility to rack - for the uninitiated
You bring up a good point! If I had purchased the P3 prior to installing the dedicated line, I may still have hired an electrician but only to up the amperage at the outlet from 15 to 20 amps.

Re: electical power delivery from utility to rack - for the uninitiated
I ran a dedicated 20 amp line to the outlet behind my system and it was a worthwhile investment. To take it to the next level though I bought PS Audio P3 Power Plant which is a power regenerator. It...
