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

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

Ian...Try AQ midnight III. It's very reasonable & blows out AP-9. AP sounds veiled, much less dynamic & detailed in comparison. Quite frankly I don't know why AP gets so much press. It's BOOOOOOORING & drained the excitement out of my system.

Hey I have Argents on my highs and Midnights on the lows. But what I really want is to bi-wire with Sterling. However, eventhough Sagger says AP sounds boring, I sorta find that a good quality. It seems all the speakers I like sound boring to most people. So maybe boring to you is good to me. I might look into AP now. So that is the 9 out of the AP line that is getting the thumbs up by audiophiles?

Yup, it's the Copper Oval 9 that got all the good press. The Silver Oval is much more controversial, and gets a lot more mixed reviews both from professional reviewers and audiophiles.
