Yep, JMLab (you can check my system listing (http://cgi.audioasylum.com/systems/3367.html) and picture gallery (https://gallery.AudioAsylum.com/cgi/view.mpl?UserImages=7184&invite=247664679))

I sure like my speakers. I would have never thought I'd spend that kind of money even as recently as three or four years ago :)

I'm not religious about wire, but it's obvious that it makes a difference. Just replacing the point to point wire in an amp or preamp with better quality wire makes a non-trivial difference. I do laugh at what's inside most amps up to the connectors compared to what wire I (and others) use outside the components.

I don't know how much reading of the archives you've done here, but there are a lot of discussions about things like this here and over on the Tweakers' asylum. I'm frankly surprised at the difference that even getting the right gauge makes (both too big and too small) in interconnects, speaker and hookup wire. (You should see the wire from the crossover to the bass driver in my speakers! I seem to remember multiple #6 or #8 wires!)

To your question, my best guess (and it's only a guess since I'm not much of a tweaker or DIYer) is that dead soft silver is best...
