Replace au24 speaker cable???

I have for years used the au24 speaker cable with my dartzeel preamp, dartzeel amp, and evolution acoustic mm2 speakers with powered woofer

The au-24 is well balanced and cannot imagine much more bass slamm but maybe more midrange?

System sounds great but maybe this is weakest link. The ic cables are bnc connectors which is optimal for dartzeel equipment.

A friend brought his kubala to try but I found the kubala too dark

The stereovox silver reference seems tempting but not sure if worth the $ and limited budget

Thanks

I am using the zeel bnc interconnects

I say limited budget because spent most of the budget
On the components

I also believe that the speaker cable should be neutral and not act as a filter or equilizer so why then should costs thousands

I've used Acoustic Zen Satori's in my system for several years, but I recently tried the new "e" series Au24's out of curiousity and, frankly, was underwhelmed. Great bass, as you indicate, but the midrange and treble presentation of the Satori's was much better in my system. YMMV, of course.

Xti16 says that while he demoed the JPS Superconductor 3, he "...never heard the AU24s..." I demoed the AU24e speaker cables, considered to be an upgrade of the 24s, at the same time I demoed the Superconductor 3s. IME and IMS, the latter bested the former in nearly every category. I recommend you take the opportunity to have The Cable Company send you both for your own evaluation.

I'm a dealer for Evolution Acoustics and Dartzeel. I'm running the same components. I'm using the Evolution Acoustics double run speaker cables. They were far superior to my previous reference cables which were pretty spectacular. I was over a customers house with the same system and the Evolution cables handily outperformed his reference cables that were far more expensive.

I had Au24's and just changed to Stealth Hybrid MLT and was very pleased with the improvements. It provided greater detail/quieter background yet sounded more relaxed with a larger soundstage. A friend of mine commented that it sounded fuller/richer sounding but more detailed. It is not dark at all but it is also not bright, very neutral actually. Very natural sounding and I would highly recommend them.
