Just bought a nice pair of Hale Revelation 3 speakers for $100 locally. Got them hooked up and I'm impressed so far with cheap speaker cables. Compared to my Meadowlark Heron speakers they seem to need more power (not as loud) but it could be the speaker wires. Symbols seem cleaner, highs seem punchier if that's understandable. Anyway, so far I'm thrilled, even though it was a 3 hour round trip to pick them up.
