30 ga speaker wire........someone is yanking somebodys' chain. How loud before the wire turns a warm cherry glow? Is that the "warmth" one speaks of in the sound. Dumbest idea this hour. Got any more?Ask the question, is there anything an audiophile won't beleive?

I'm getting ready to purchase my first serious stereo system and i'm very intimidated There are no real serious shops in my area and the ones that are around have very little to choose from. They mostly carry Klipsch and B&W...I know that they are not bad choices, but i just don't like the fact that the dealer tries to force them down your throat. In addition, they do not seem terribly knowledgeable.

The facts:

My front two speakers are Wilson W/P8s on Ayre MX-Rs. My center is eventually going to be a Watch Center and the surrounds will eventually be Duette speakers. My processor is a Meridian 861.

I could use recommendations on amps for my center channel and surround channels. I feel that the Ayre MX-Rs would be overkill (way to expensive) for this task, as I am not as worried about my surround sound elements as the two channel elements of my system.

Hello All, Thought I'd see if there's any other super thin single strand cable fans out there? I use 30g varnish coated copper(1+ & 1-) for interconnects-app. 500mm in length and 2.5 metres for speaker cable- I just can't believe the massive increase in clarity, dynamics and..... BASS !
The "human hair" speaker runs replaced Python like monster cable and within an hour or so of hooking them up, the monster cable was banished to the spare room cupboard.
I have also made up a short (2.5m) guitar lead for a friend and got the same results more clarity and deeper, rounder bass
