What should I spend my $100 emobucks on?

[maseline98]

I got $100 emobucks from the UMC-1, but don't know what to spend it on. My immediate thought was a XPA2, but I really don't have the extra $600 to shell out for it so I figured that I would get some cables or something....Any suggestions? XLR cable for my sub? Power Cable for my xpa5?

I wish they had a emo hoody for sale. I'm always in line for a new hoody(no matter how much my wife hates them. It could be worse, I could be wearing flannels and hunting all the time like some of my friends...lol).

What is your budget?

If you do a lot of 2/2.x listening, then maybe consider a USP for $249 or an ERC-1 for $269 if you have a large CD collection, even better if some of the CDs are slightly mistreated.

Maybe get some ERD-1s for under $200 or some architectural speakers for under $100 if you want to add a zone 2 setup in your kitchen or a nearby room (bathroom, haha) using your UMC-1 or if you want to add two more surrounds in the future when you have the money to get that XPA-2 to use with your mains.

Personally, I would be tempted to get the UAW 6.2/8.2s for $49/$72 as that would be a steal.

As for cables, it really depends on what you currently have and may need more of.

If you already have a good 75 Ohm RCA cable going to your sub, I would not think that trading that for an XLR would make a huge amount of difference. As for the power cables, they are lovely for sure if you need/want some extra length, but I do not believe that they will improve sound quality, really.

I have to vote for a pair of UOM 6.2s.
