    Hancock and Moore HT seating

    Should I pick up an Emotiva UPA-2?

    Do cables matter for subs?

    In my search for cables, I ran across the Audioholics article that measured that in fact cables do matter (at least Canare 4S11 was found to be measurably better than 12 g rip cord). Thus I am going w/ the Canare (and WBT plugs for my mains) for my loudspeakers. However does cable matter...
