OP,
Many showrooms will use high end Nordost, which sounds fantastic. However is very expensive. Depending on your equipment and your budget, a different brand may be more cost effective.
Beginner Question
I was demoing speakers last weekend and at both shops they used a speaker cable that was about a 2-3 inch tall ribbon. It was bright silver, almost chrome looking. It has multiple thin wires side by side. Does anyone know the brand or types? I should of asked but was focused on the speakers, but thought it interesting that both shops used the same cable. BTW, listed to Wilson Audio Sabrina X and the Monitor Audio Platinum 300 II. I thought both sounded different but great in their own way.

12many, sounds like nordost cable to me, and the monitor audio platinum 300s are so much better than the Wilsons it's not even funny, in fact Robert Deutsch who is a reviewer for stereophile chose the platinum 300 Gen 2 as his new reference and he had Wilson Sabrina there before he got to review the platinum and he said the platinum were far superior and I have the platinum 200 Gen 2 and I absolutely love them much better than Magico and many other of the high-end extremely expensive speakers, that MPD tweeter is the best on the market it goes to 100,000 clean and their driver technology is way ahead of everybody and their cabinetry work is beyond reproach 11 layers of hand polished lacquer and a beautiful Strathsprey leather front which is used by Rolls-Royce and other high-end car companies in England, takes 166 hours to make each cabinet, if they were made in England the platinum 500 would probably cost $80,000, but since it's made in China that's why it doesn't cost so much and it will compete with the best of the best out there for one quarter of the price, so I say this if you want to spend $80,000 on Magico or other overpriced speakers than I laugh at you and I say go ahead but the monitor audio platinum are world-class speakers and they'll compete with anybody out there, and they sure look a hell of a lot better than the ugly aluminum boxes that Magico makes.

@12many - take a look at these three brands...
They are right up there with the Nordost perofrmance wise, but they mght be a little more affordable Regards - Steve |
