Update: Revelation Spkr cables arrived 2 wks ago. Replaced Au24s. Huge difference,as it should be for the price(but it doesn't always work out that way, as many Agoners have found).
Now have 4 thick cables to each speaker instead of 2 shoelaces - big difference. Setting visuals aside, the sound is pretty amazing - much more dynamic, much tighter and lower bass, fuller midrange and sweeter, more extended highs. Makes the Au24's sound like they were 2-dimensional - soundstage has gained new depth and width and imaging has also improved quite a bit (and it was very good before!). They are obviously still breaking in, so should sound even better after a while.
Sound is much more dynamic, but not in any way colored - for example, I am hearing bass lines in songs now that I didn't even realize were there. The bass isn't accentuated, it just there, whereas it really wasn't as clearly before, but I had no way of really knowing this. These cables have really opened my ears in a very good way.
Performances are now closer to "live" in my system than anything I have heard to date, and most other systems now sound thin and 2-dimensional by comparison. I'm afraid I've been spoiled......
(I'm also not "connected" to VD, or any other manufacturer for that matter, in case the above sounds like a shameless plug. I just know what sounds good in my system and enjoy sharing info, since I have picked up many good insights and tips from the posts of others on this site. Its a really neat community.)
