 There is certainly a reason no one wants to do an ABX test on these.............my SDA's have 00 gauge wire inside them - what point is there in running thousands of dollars of speaker wire OUTSIDE the cabinets when lamp cord is INSIDE of them? "Super" listeners can't tell the difference in ABX tests, and make excuses (I.E. - they're not valid for audio - what?) when/if they're forced to participate. If anyone has to make an excuse for justifying spending thousands of dollars on their equipment I don't know what to say. Before I lose any friends I may have made while I was here, I appologize if I offended you. Come over to my house and listen to my "junk" - since you already know what I'm running you already have a bias, now that makes two of us. I'm going to go outside and play now while the sun is out. It's Portland and it's going to be 00 degrees
