Where can a body get cables from XLO Electric??

Can't find them anywhere, and according to the dealer list on their website, no one in the state of IL sells XLO cable... Just wondering if anyone knew where to get it [I was planning on the 'pro' series speaker cable].

If theses cables are really that hard to find,, can anyone offer a good alternitive? [not Monster].

I've already checked out some of Audioquest's stuff, even Type 4 is a bit through the roof for my system.

BTW, my system:

[color:green] Does any body remember what High Fidelity meant? In case you have forgotten, it

Other than the over-all tonal balance, what aspect do you put at the top of your list?

What was everyones first HiFi?

I bought my first HiFi in the late 90's after working all summer:

Marantz CD45
NAD 312
Wharfedale Diamond 7.2 (before they made cheaply)
Home Depot cables and Magnet wired interconnects

This system really played the music for me in high school. I went on to become a rega nut, mira, planet and jura's, that was a sweet second system!

So what did you all start with?

Hi!

I have the, in my opinion, very good Sony SS-M9 speakers. But I would like to have a good matching center and surround speakers to them.
What speakers would match my Sony speakers?

Thanks in advance

In an earlier posting, I asked why blind testing was such a hot button for some audiophiles? As I mentioned in the HE 2005 Debate -- see http://www.stereophile.com/news/050905debate -- my skepticism about the efficacy of such tests is based both on a large amount of experience of such tests and my scientific education leading me to question the methodology adopted by so many of the published tests.
