Speaker Cables

Try the new Purist Audio Musaeus. I just ordered a Bi-wire pair for my B&W's. I tried these against the Cardas Neut ref. The new Musaues just amazed me at what it did and it is better then their older long loved colossus cable and is about 1/3 the cost of colossus. ($580 compared to about $2000) The thing that is nice about purist is if you order a bi-wire, they actually add double the cable instead of just splitting the existing conductors. And the new cables don't use fluid anymore for sheilding. They use a metalic substance called Ferox that really sheilds the cable creating an extremely low noise floor. The museaus is fuller bodied sound, very open and airy, detailed and soundstage is deep and wide. Their new Venustas is another level of performance, but at about $2500 to 3000. I just ordered their Venustas XLR IC for my amp to pre. The venustas is breathtaking!!! The midrange is so natural sounding. Vocals are stunning. Call Paul at "The Cable Company" he was my salesperson. They will send you loaners to try in your own system.
Happy listening.

Email me and I will let you know my experience with AZ, Shunyata and Audience speaker cables and let you know what I settled on. Also include your equipment. I am not a dealer or anything.

dtanclim, in my experience cardas cross are very
musical but expensive,I think the AZ are more like
of harmonic technology, HT are excellent cable for
the money.IMO the AZ might probably match your
system, but try this 3 cables.

My 2 cents is that Harmonic Tech is knowhere close to as good as Acoustic Zen cables. I have owned both as well as many others including Nordost SPM, Silversmith, NBS, and most recently a 2 month demo of Audience cables. I am without a doubt convinced that Acoustic Zen cables sound the best in my sytems. I have both Hologram and Satori, and the Hologram is definately better, but I still think a lot of the Satori, they sound very similar, the Hologram just gives you more of what the Satori does. If you want to spend less just get the Satori and don't even worry about it, it is a refrence quality cable and one of the biggest bang for the buck out there.

I had the Santori head to head with a pr of Kimber ks 3035 and a few others popular speaker cables (dealer loans). All I can say is the Kimber ks 3035 made the Santori look like a Honda Accord compared to a top model Mercedes, BMW, Lexus etc. Wasn't close. I ended up with the 3035, no contest at all,, not even close, a commoner to royality, middle class to wealth. For the price the Santori is OK but there are much much better speaker cables out there. If your looking for a great cable,,, forget about the Santori and look else where. It's common for it's price range. It's a laid back presentation with good tonal balance,,, I would say good for helping tame a hot top more aggressive speaker. It's not a bad speaker cable for the price but there are much better.
