Good question. I have been thinking about this myself. Currently, I am using Transparent Music link plus cables for my speakers and interconnects. The challenge is I want to upgrade them but the price is so high, I have been considering others. I am currently seriously considering Wire World as several folks on this forum seem to hold them in such high regard.

Thanks

Beautiful speakers.
Best of luck.
Do you intend to raise the D3's off the floor? Speaker outriggers?
I think it may be an asset decoupling those drivers from the hardwood floor.

I haven't thought of decoupling the speakers from the hardwood floors. What are the benefits?

Right before Christmas, my local Magnolia was willing to be flexible on price (sounded like a standard discount). I didn't purchase from there, so I can't speak to how much negotiation room there was, or how much of the flex was holiday related. As always, just ask, and have your credit card ready if they says yes.

I'm guessing 10% off 9k then would be standard.

These are fantastic looking speakers. I am seriously contemplating to get a pair black just like yours or a pair of 803 D3. This need careful consideration so i don't repeat my last mistake and end up with speakers to large for my listening room.
