Morrow Audio Speaker Cables


Came across this company and I’m curious if anyone has experience or comments with their speaker cables from a quality vs cost standpoint.  Thanks for your thoughts.

I will say I don’t care for their XLR cables, due to most of them using the same relatively basic Neutrik connectors.

I have made many XlR cables using Furutech FP-601/602 connectors yet am surprised by the number of very expensive cables using Neutrik connectors. A few years ago I started using much less expensive Vampire or DH Labs XLR connectors and frankly have never heard a difference compared to the 601/602. I believe the Vampire/DH Labs metallurgy is better than Neutrik uses but I also believe many of those fancy/expensive connectors are more bling than performance. Not sure whether Vampire is still available but DH Labs is a solid choice that I doubt could be bettered sonically to any consistently reliable degree. In addition, much of the equipment the expensive connectors will be attached to use Neutrik connectors.

Agree, the DH Labs connectors are probably at the limit for me in terms of price/performance ratio. Anything "better" will cost far more than it is worth as far as actual contributions to the sound. Sure do love me some Furutech bling but I admit that's mostly aesthetic and I'm not so interested in paying that premium for little to no benefit.

My point was just that some of the mid level Morrow XLR interconnects tend to use basic Neutrik connectors while other brands in that price bracket are using higher quality options. Even the MA7 which starts at $1399 is still using the basic Neutrik, and one must go all the way up to the $3k to get fancier connectors. If I'm spending more than $500 or so I expect something beyond Neutrik. 

Meanwhile the Morrow Audio RCA option is quite nice, and I don't find it out of place on the middle level range. 

My system cabling is all Morrow. Level 6 on speakers, level 4 on everything else. I did not use their breakin service although god knows they definitely need breakin to sound their best. I chose to save the money and experience the joy of hearing them continue to improve over the weeks and months. Now that I have upgraded the amps and speakers I need to go back and upgrade the interconnects to “match” the level of the rest of the system. I’m a fan, very neutral sounding stuff.

Troutstreamnm, how did you like your sp6?  It’s been months now, they should be completely loosened up by now.
