Analysis Plus Oval 9

My Von Schweikert VR33 speakers were wired with Analysis+ speaker wire.   Unfortunately. I did not care for the speakers at all due to lack of bass. I don’t know how much the cables contributed to the sound, but they were one of the worst sounding speakers I ever had in my living room.  Took me a year and a half to come to terms that I hated them and sold them at a huge loss. 

Sorry to hear.

Did you change speaker cables as well?

I've had them before with a different system. They lean towards the warm side of the spectrum. They took a very long time to break in fully

I have always used these cables with my two audio systems. I get the bi-wire version. I think of them as a poor man’s high end cable. They sound terrific to me.

I tried them in my system years ago and found them tonally natural but a bit lacking in upper treble detail/air.  I ended up going with Acoustic Zen Satoris and never looked back.  Are you looking for single or bi-wire cables?

IME, Analysis Plus interconnects are excellent. The flat oval profile is suitable for longer runs due to the shielding nature of the outter conductor, but I did not care for the speaker wires. I think you would find that something like the Nordost blue heaven will deliver more of, well, everything.

I have the Oval 9 speaker wire in two of my second systems - one with a Simaudio 600i integrated and Harbeth P3ESR SE speakers, the other with a Electrocompaniet ECI-5 MKII integrated and Klipsch Chorus speakers.  They are well made and do no harm in either system.  I think they're a great value.

Very happy with the Oval 9 Black with Magnepan LRS+...

Thanks for the comments.

I am thinking single wire/ my speaker don't allow for biwire.

Here’s a nice pair of AZ Hologram II cables at over 50% off list price. If they don’t work out you could almost certainly sell them at no loss or maybe even a small profit. Very well worth a try IMO.

Unfortunately, I need a longer run.

Any comments on the sonic characteristics of the Oval 9?

I read they have a very nice midrange.

Wonder if they are forward sounding, or bright etc.

 Not relating to sonics but you may find it interesting..

The newer Oval 9 has an insulator or sheath.
