And that is something that only humble people (not exactly mtrycrafts) can appreciate. Their example in courage and passion needs to be reminded to the likes of mtrycrafts. Willie Click to expand... Courage to design a car? Achieving great things is relative, isn't it? Passion? That I can see and understand. Great.

That's damned odd- I can see be offended by his music, but his last initial? The automatic censoring software's pretty aggressive!

Besides, if my cabling cost as much as your house, you can bet I'd run it all in the open to show it off!

Do you think the guy (or team) that designed the Ferrari Enzo or McLaren F1 would ever stoop to working for GM? Click to expand... Considering that Hyundai hired the Ferrari design team to rework the Tiburon, I'd say yes, they are more than happy to work for anyone that wants to pay their mortgage that month.

JoeE SP9 Senior Audioholic Sep 26, 2003 721 0 0 78 Phila. PA Sep 9, 2004 #32 I'd say Hyundai got their money's worth. I have exposed cable and I like it. My speaker cable is not only exposed but raised of the floor with ceramic standoffs. That Nordost cable is beautiful. Stuff like that deserves prominant exposure.

Are those ceramic standoffs to display the cables, or some other reason? Maybe you have a model RR and these are the village power cables?

Rob Babcock Moderator Jun 18, 2003 2,806 0 0 Sep 9, 2004 #34 I actually have my "twin towers" of gear in the back of the room, well behind the listening position, with the speaker cable routed under the floor. Adding a FPTV years ago did wonders for the sound- you wouldn't believe how much better things work without a huge, hulking hollow box (55" RPTV) in the front of the room. Awesome for football/movie nite, too, as you can't see the gear at all (no dancing lights!). Lucky for me, all my IR remotes will easily bounce the signal off the 100" Da-Lite screen. So, you can't really see any speaker wire (except a bit where they come out of the floor & run up to the surrounds), but you can see some of the ICs & stuff dangling on the back of the gear racks.
