Anybody ever play with these???
From MIT's website: http://www.mitcables.com/legacy-products/speaker-interfaces/tmax-super-speaker-modules/menu-id-264.html After all, I am a 'sensitive listener'
I will consider these fun toys...unless they sound really good. 4, count 'em, 4 articulation poles in these bad boys 
The newest MIT speaker interfaces have like 40 articulation poles, but hey, ya gotta start somewhere.
I'm going to see if MIT will sell me a length of their OneWire RG59 coax cable as is called for. http://www.mitcables.com/legacy-products/onewire-silver-dual-shield-rg-59.html Does anyone have suggestions for an alternate RG59 if they won't sell me some of theirs?
Ok, I'm off to buy some iconn interfaces!
EDIT: I see now that MIT's OneWire cable is considered a 'legacy' product by them, so I'm guessing a no-go there. I'm thinking I'll go with Blue Jean Cables for some coax.Post edited by jdjohn on"This may not matter to you, but it does to me for various reasons, many of them illogical or irrational, but the vinyl hobby is not really logical or rational..." - member on Vinyl Engine

Following-up on the MIT Speaker Modules. First had to get some of MIT's iconn connectors. I went with spades for the amp end, and banana plugs for the speaker end.
Connected the modules with Belken 1505A RF cable from BJC. On the floor, you can still see the copper stranded Monoprice cable that the new cable was replacing
So the sound...it is improved
There's more air around the instruments, and I can pick-up more nuances of the player's technique - strumming, picking, bows across strings. Everything is a bit crisper.
I have to say, for the money spent - $100 for the modules, $65 for the iconn connectors, and $41 for the cables - it's a good investment. And it gives me a taste of the how the upper-echelon MIT cables with more articulation points must sound.
