Hi All Just joined this group hoping to learn from fellow enthusiasts. I recently purchased Living Voice Avatar II speakers second hand but in great condition. The wood finish on the speakers is rather appealing. The Avatars replaced my Klipsch RP speakers. I have been quite impressed with the Avatars' detailed sound yet with a good sense of musicality and emotional feel. Though the Avatar is smaller in size compared to my Klipsch, it gives a room filling sound, a kind of enveloping feel. It doesn't dig as deep in terms of bass, but has good definition and tautness. I have some questions and hope fellow owners could assist: 1. Do I need to bi-wire the speakers to maximise the quality speakers? 2. What kind of cables go best with these speakers? 3. Any other tips on maximising the speakers' potential? I run the LV Avatars with a solid state McIntosh C15 preamp and McIntosh 7100 (100 watt) power amp. For cds, I use my Marantz UD 7007 cd player and blusound node 2i for streaming. Appreciate your advise and do feel free to share your experiences. Thanks Ram
