Thank you all for your generous comments. Jond, I'm totally open to it, but why do AN owners seem to prefer single wiring over bi-? Stereo5, yes, I'm definitely interested in the AN cables, just haven't seen anything listed that's long enough, and the retail price is beyond my budget. Tvad and Matt Miller, I haven't tried Kimber Kables but will definitely read about them. Thanks gain!
Tri-wired speaker cables for bi-wire Audio Note AN-E speakers?
I currently have an older pair of Cardas Quadlink 5C bi-wire cables but would like to upgrade for the Audio Note AN-E Spe HE speakers I now own and love. I'm looking for a used set of bi-wire cables that are at least 5m long (room configuration prevents me from using shorter lengths, unfortunately). My budget is $2K. There aren't many listings that fit the bill, but right now there's a set of well regarded Straight Wire Crescendo 2 cables on ebay, 20-feet long, that seem to fit the bill, but they are tri-wired, not bi-wired. The owner says I can just leave one set of cables unattached, but I'm wondering if that would compromise sound quality. Also, if I only need 5m, will the extra length unnecessarily compromise SQ as well? Thank you in advance!
