Thanks for that link, Keef. Sorry - mistook my voltage and power dBs!

Re Richard's comment about speaker cables, there's no need to get hi-fi speaker cable or anything like that. (In fact there's no need for hi-fi speaker cable on hi-fis either.) Get yourself a nice fat bit of mains cable, and stick your Speakons on that. All this "OFC braided" crap is just a big con - no benefits for sound or reliability. Gold-plated connectors are worth getting though.

A few years back, there was an article which got some prominence in the hi-fi world. Some speaker manufacturer was at a show, and everyone was raving about the quality of reproduction and everything. The article author asked afterwards what cables he was using, and the manufacturer pointed to a reel of bog-standard mains extension cable, saying that it was the best thing they'd found to connect speakers up with. So much for the "Golden Ears"... :-)
