Analysis plus oval silver or oval 9 ?


I am wiring my Talon Peregrine X speakers up and i am looking to find a good decently priced cable. (As i need a very long run of it, so it adds up fast.) I think i am going to decide between the Analysis Plus Silver Oval and the oval 9. I was curious what people's thoughts were on the differences between them. I would also consider Acoustic Zen Satori or Hologram if i could find it cheap enough in a 20 foot lenth. Thanks a lot, - Ian

I was using the Silver Ovals for mid-highs on my B&W 801 s3 and Oval 9s on woofers. The Silver Ovals have more hi-freq detail but less halographic. In the end I got rid of the Silver Ovals and when for the musical, for me, presentation of the Oval 9 biwired. But I could easily see someone else preferring the Silver Ovals in a more dark system or different musical tastes.
Ian, don't you live in a dorm? Why do you need such a long run of cables? And I'd stick with the Oval 9's...the Silver might sound a little (or a lot) tipped up, especially with your Quattro Fil's. Cheers!
Well my equipment is under my bed, not on a rack or anything and my speakers are placed on my desk. I have to run the wire along the walls of my room. The speakers are only about 8 feet from from the equipment but it is not a direct run. I guess ill just stick with oval 9 for now. Also does anyone know if AP is going to use their new single crystal copper (ala harmonic tech and acoustic zen) in their speaker wires. I believe that would make their wires truly world class. Let me know ... Thanks - Ian
Analysis Plus Silver Oval is dull compared to Satori. The Analysis Plus might throw a wider soundstage than the Satori, but that is it, everything else about the Satori is worlds better than Analysis Plus.
Maybe ill spend the extra money and get the satori, if you think its worth it. Most people i speak to feel it is. - Ian
