Cables for Focal Utopia Diablo


Could you share with me what interconnect and speaker cables work well with Utopia Diablo? I am thinking about getting Tara Labs the One but not sure if they work well together. Source is Wadia 581SE and Amps are Ayre MXR along with Shunyata Hydra 8 and Python Helix power cords.

Thanks very much,

I'm a little late to this party, but I just acquired a pair of Diablo Utopia iii's and I am running them off my Plinius SA103 with Cardas Golden Cross speaker wire. Sounds excellent! Although I have to confess to a bit of heresy: my Joseph Audio rm25XL's sounded pretty damn good for 1/3 of the price of the Diablos. The Diablos are definitely better in all ways other than bass extension, but $12K better (retail)?
For components/speakers this good I would go with KLEI zFLOW22 speaker cables and also get the zFLOW33 IC's. They work exceptionally well together and will provide excellent detailing with amazing imaging and a very controlled bass.

I've tried other speaker cables from Cardas, Kimber, Purist Audio and Tara Labs and the zFLOW's are far superior to all of them.

Lucky Boy - for other budget options I also own (or have owned) ...

- the KLEI gZero6 SC and KLEI gZero20 IC's - another great combination and a little less expensive - and

- the KLEI gZero2 Speaker cable - which matches nicely with the KLEI gZero6 IC from a performance level perspective

All of the pairings I have mentioned outperformed the cables from other brand cables that I mentioned above.

I would not advise mixing the zFLOW line with the gZero line (or other brands of cables for that matter) because they offer so much better performance when used with products from within the zFLOW line - you'd just be wasting your money.

BTW - I have no affiliation with KLE Innovations - I just like the performance of their cables/RCA Plugs and believe they offer some exceptional value.
