Best "laid-back" speaker cable & interconnects for all Naim system?


Looking for suggestions on speaker cable and interconnects that are both laid-back and warm, but have excellent low bass response, depth and punch.

Just got a used Nait 5i (with NACA5’s) and have been listening over the past week. Rest of my gear is a Naim CD3.5 and Vandersteen 2C’s.

OMG, are these NACA5’s harsh and flat or what! Anyone else experience this? I think I have all mids and nothing in the highs and lows. No don’t get me wrong, there is some bass punch, but not like my previous Creek 5350SE and 4330SE.

To balance everything out, I either need to resell the Nait and get an integrated that is more laid-back with excellent low bass response and punch (like the 4330SE... yes, I miss her) or try and find the equivalent in speaker cables and interconnects? If that is even possible?

What interconnects and power cable are you using. Based on internal pics of your equipment, the Nait5 might be a higher-resolution device, where the Creek might be slower/warmer. I cannot state that for sure since I haven’t heard either equipment, but it’s an assumption based on the circuit designs (Nait5 appears to use a lot of SMD type bipolar devices, which are faster and quicker with higher resolution).

As far as NACA5 is concerned, it appears to be stranded copper speaker wire. The strands are large gauge and the speaker wire is very stiff. Not sure if you will be able to get warmer/softer, but fine stranded 12awg (like monster) may help.

As far as interconnect, the Wire World Eclipse 7 will probably do what you want (unless you already have something similar). The Eclipse is somewhat on the soft side, but it has all the bass/midbass impact and all the details are there. System synergy can be a factor here as well.

But sfall is probably right as he has direct experience with all related equipment.

Here are several suggestions;
I know that Vandersteen recommends biwiring their speakers, so perhaps that would provide a more even frequency response.
 I don't know what your cable budget is, but Purist Audio cables are laid back with a smooth top end.
Also, are you using any room treatments? Absorbion and diffusion are necessary to remove any standing waves and smooth out the highs.
