I was speaking to a dealer today who suggested that the actual wire within each of the lines are the same. The example provided was within the Ref and Ref XL are actually the same wire, but the network boxes are different, with the XL having a more precise tune.
Is this true?
It was also commented that when the Ref cable is sent in for an upgrade to XL, the cable is not changed, only the network box and calibration.
Reference Speaker Cable
Reference Speaker Cable transfers bass energy down through the bottom octave with amazing accuracy and creates a quiet interface between some of the most challenging speaker and amplifier combinations.
Reference speaker cable is upgradeable to XL speaker cable or above.
XL Speaker Cable
More precisely calibrated to the characteristics of your amplifier than Reference Speaker Cable, Transparent XL Speaker Cable will free your system to provide unexpected levels of musical involvement when you turn the lights down low and listen.
