Clear Day Cables Speaker Cables

I know there have been some threads/discussion on Clear Day cables here, but I wanted to write my own opinions since I recently purchased a pair of their double shotgun cables after trying their regular shotgun cables for free.
I am so happy that I took Paul (Laudati, the owner) up on his offer to send me a pair to try for free. Until I heard these cables I had no idea what a huge difference a speaker cable can make. And the prices for his cables are really reasonable as well.
The double shotgun wires simply shine. The depth of the soundstage is amazing. The bass is so clear and defined and also deep and rich. Treble is also clear and detailed without any harshness. The mid-range retains a bit of congestion, but my cables are only a few days old and have only around 40 hours on them. Paul tells me it will take a few weeks for them to relax and open up. Based on my experiences with the standard shotguns, which were already broken in when I got them, I have no doubt this is the case.
As you can tell I am not much of a reviewer, but I hope if nothing else that I have made folks aware of this great speaker cable option. They are so awesome I want to tell everyone I know about them. I'm so glad I found them because of the countless hundreds of dollars spent on other cables that had nowhere near the impact that these have on the sound. Paul sends demo pairs out for free fully knowing that most folks will want to keep them once they have heard them. Not many companies do this. I wonder why?

My speakers are a bit more of a load than what your speakers are - at 88db 6 ohms. And they really are. With the previous NAD integrated, they used to sound anemic. With the A21, they found fabulous.
Why don't you email Paul and ask if he can lend you shotguns (instead of double). See if that works in your system.

Just another endorsement for Clear Day Double Shotgun speaker cables. Two pairs replaced Harmonic Technology Melodyline shotgun biwire cables between our Soderberg updated Threshold Stasis 2 and our B&W Matrix 801 Series 2 (with Van Alstine mods but with intact woofer Zobel circuit!) speakers.

The Clear Day cables are much superior in every way; most notably in resolution of inner detail, frequency extension and most impressive of all, once completely burned in, which took 100+ hours in my experience, disappearing from the act of sound reproduction altogether as the midrange bloom...well, blooms.

All in all, a remarkable audio component in it's ability to de-electronify sound reproduction, allowing organic, real sounding music to come through...which is a remarkable achievement for any audio component.

Have used with these cables in both of my systems over the last 4 years and have found no syngery issues whether the speakers have been Tyler Acoustics (3 different models) JM Reynaud Offrande Supremes, Daedalus Argos V2; and whether its been a solid state or tube amp - Plinius 8200, Ayon Spirit 2 tube integrated; Modwright LS100 pre & KWA 100SE power amp. Top notch in my opinion

I recently received a pair of the double shot guns to try in my system from Paul. my current ones were Kimber 12Tc. I run all Arc tubes and my speakers are Infinity Irs Betas. These are going on the mid/high towers.Right away after hooking them up there was a huge difference. Much better highs,awesome midrange and just a much much better sound.I must say I was amazed at the difference. A great product at a great price.
