    Dali Opticon 6 bi-wire

    Yesterday, and totally by chance (found some not expensive spare speaker cable), I changed my connection from single wire to bi wire.

    Dali Opticon 1 or Dynaudio Emit M10?

    Hi Just looking for any opinions on either of the above for listening to music in a small room. Partnering equipment would be Rega Planar 3, Rega Brio amp and Marantz Cd6004. Clarity and detail more important to me than absolute bass "oomph". Any advice or opinions appreciated.
