Bang for the buck vs. “money no object” cable recommendations

Posted this on one of your older threads in error...

As an experiment try a solid core copper cable no larger than 20 gauge (I'd try 22 gauge if your speaker cable lengths are 12', or less).

This can be purchased as hook-up wire @ many online sites on the the WWW.

I've only used Michaell Percy (sp?), but it's readily available @ different venders.

Anyway, try something inexpensive as an experiment.

Doing so may flesh out the LF's of your setup while retaining the mid/HF's.

If it sounds better then look into better solid core cable.

Cool speakers that would probably work well in our living room as I generally roam while listening.

I’ve mostly stayed away from this type of recommendation in the past for my own reasons.  However, after a gazillion years in this hobby I experienced my own example of “bang for the buck” cables.  I was the first to review this cable in an “e-zine” and was, by request from the manufacturer, comparing them to my reference somewhat cost no object speaker cable,  After a long enjoyable review wondering if was really hearing what I thought I was hearing- I concluded that this $1k cable was the first to beat, by a noticeable margin, my $12k reference cable, that had not been beat over a 14 year period.  Yes,  my reference cable was beat by a $1K cable  by the SAME manufacturer!  For me, it was the “Steal of the Century!” 

As it turned out,  every reviewer after me, including Greg Weaver with a $700K system, also came to the same conclusion  and Greg proclaimed it beat his $27K reference cable and he too, switched to the new $1K cable!  He even has a detailed video where he explains his  inclusions in his review. 

That cable was the very first cable recommended in the first response by  eichlerera!!!!

I don’t think I’ve ever experienced a “cost-no-object” speaker cable manufacturer come out with a cable costing a tenth of its previous reference cable and claim the cheaper cable is superior to its reference cable - and then proves it!!! 

But, as always YMMV

Well, I'm on the edge of my seat. What is this ref cable beater named?

Might be these..😁

The OP asked us for 'cost no object' recommendations, so here goes:

Most of us don't have the money even to rent these cables so we won't have heard them but I did 10 minutes googling.

Siltech Triple Crown power cable costs £55,000 for 2m.  Price of a very luxury car.
Anyone heard it? (not that you can listen to a power cable).  Please read my previous posts on power cables before reaching for your wallet.

By a strange coincidence Siltech price their Triple Crown speaker cable, 2m stereo, at £55,000.  Clearly the manufacturing costs of these different cables are not the same.  So the £55,000 price has been plucked out of the air for the mugs to latch onto with both hands.

Siltech Triple Crown interconnect, 1m XLR, is a relatively affordable £25,880/pair.

By the way Miller, did you get to hear any of these?

I disclose that I have used Siltech interconnects for 25 years.  Much cheaper then and certainly not the flagships (no funny metal boxes).  I like them and have seen no reason subsequently to experiment or change.
