Lapierre-So have you bought a B2? I remembering speaking with you a couple years ago and I believe you were considering adding a sub back then. As you may already know the B2 is awesome, definetly recommend it.

Regarding the Speak on cable: if you end up going with each conductor separate you may be able to save some money and buy a good quality twisted cable and terminate it yourself. Food for thought, I feel almost any larger gauge cable would represent an upgrade over the stock cable.

I have noticed you have moved recently and your new room is proving troublesome. I look forward to seeing what comes of it with room treatments etc.

Lapierre,

Thank you for your reply. Before purchasing your stand what were your amps on? Did the tonality of the amps change like it was stated over at 6 moons? My amp is currently on a cheap home made MDF, all thread rack. I am sure anything will be better but i am worried about darkening my sound too much with the walnut.

I am looking for a cost effective amp stand for my MC-275 and am interested in your thoughts on the Core Audio Designs stands you have. Did you try any others before deciding on them? Any thoughts or opinions would be appreciated.

Justin
