What speaker cables can complete with Audience 24e or 24e SE for less $$

 To lowrider57,   I sent Grover Huffman an e-mail about the Empress cable  and also if he could re-terminate his EX speaker cable I bought about a year ago on AG before buying the Harmonic Technology cable.   I am not sure how old  the  EX cable I have, or more importantly,  if it was the latest version

Nevertheless, the Empress cable at $75 per foot is not cheap even for 6 ft pair with GH's banana connectors which are $10  a connector.  One point you made that you listen to 90% classical music; I would say I listen to about 20% classical and 80% classic rock  and rock/jazz fusion. Nevertheless, I have yet to hear from Huffman about both series, and if the Empress speaker is worth money compared to the EX series.  Thanks,  SJ .    

Jim, I'm pleased you're keeping us updated. At $75/ft, his cables are not cheap, but as long as you get the return policy, it may be worth it.
  As far as listening to different types of music, the sonic signature of the cables will still provide open, dynamic sonics. And no brightness, except during burn-in.

I also listen to jazz fusion and often to the great guitarists...Jeff Beck, Hendrix, John McLaughlin, Pat Metheny.

To Lowrider,  Thanks for the comment. I spoke to the G-man today, and his trade up  policy is generous; so I am probably going to go for the Empress speaker cable and trade in my Huffman EX speaker cable.

A trade up policy? Excellent.

"If you have good equipment and good synergy then this should not be a matter of critical concern. Any decent 16 gauge braided copper wire should do for a short 6 feet."

Frankly, there is no technology in speaker wire relative to all the technology in speakers"

Where do you get this stuff? Are you serious?
