Straight Wire "Maestro"


How good are these cables. Someone gave me a pair and I know nothing about them.

I have used the Maestro between a Bryston 4BST, and Nestorovic 5ASMKIV speakers and found them to work well. The bass was a little softer, but the midrange was right on. The highs were lightly rolled, but not too much so. i have also heard them betwen Wilson 3/2 with ARC D300 amplification, and they worked well again. Speaker cable is always a a risky endeavor. Don't buy until you've tried. Jeff
I've tried the Maestro interconnects a few years ago and liked them quite a bit. They were in those days better than most of the cables on the market...But, nowadays there are so many cables in that price range that are just as good sounding if not better. I just plugged in the new Straight Wire Serenade interconnect into my system and found them to be very musical and accurate. They cost twice as much as the Maestro, and twice as better sounding. Good luck.. Just remember, there is not one good or bad cable for every system!!! You've got to keep trying to see if you like it. Good luck!
Curious if your cables are the Maestro II? Do they have screw tight RCA connectors?
I have a want to buy ad out on several sites so do let me know if you wish to sell yours.
What is the difference between the original Maestro cables and the Maestro IIs?
I believe it is a different dielectric. I have a pair that I used for years, they were best in a cable co. Shootout with several sub 1k speaker cables.
