Hello, I have an HCA-2 and love it. I bought PS AUDIO EXTREME STATEMENT Bi-WIRE cables and what an EXTREME difference. I was using bi-wire cables by Audioquest and thought they where good but compared to the STATEMENTS they are GARBAGE!!!!! A friend of mine had me try his and my B&W's sound great now. I only wish I had these cables before I sold my Apogee's. I am using a Melos MA 333 Gold pre amp and the HCA-2 which is replacing my venerable VTL MB-300 Mono blocks. I am thinking of buying a pair of Electra 936 I only hope it will be an improvement. The Statements are now discontinued but they can be had for under $300( retail was $1100] what a deal
