I currently have a pair of Monster 2.4 bi-wire. I'm thinking about getting a pair of Cardas quadlink 5c bi-wire. What would i gain or lose by going with the Cardas? My speakers are Tyler monitors. My amps are Rogue Metis pre and Dyna ST-70. Thanks for your input.
I am currently using Cardas Neutral Reference in my system and have compared the two as I have some Monster cables laying around, and there was a noticable difference in clarity and detail with the Cardas ic's, mostly the clarity.
Other than the words "Moster Cable" on the sleeve, the 2.4's are actually a pretty good pair of speaker cables and should be fine with your Tylers. I would take the money you were going to spend on speaker cables and apply it to better interconnects. Cardas Quadlink is ( at best) a sidewise move - the 2.4 Monsters are closer to the Neutral Reference in performance, in my opinion.
Well I took some of your advice and tried some different IC's. I have decided on JPS labs superconductor Q's. They seem to have opened up the soundstage and give me more detail. At the same time the bass is still good and the highs are not harsh at all. Now I'm wondering if I should upgrade my power cords. I was thinking some used PS Audio statement's are in my price range. Suggestions are welcome.
