(((I have to run some longish cables (25feet). I got some old Transparent
Supers that needed repair, and was convinced to 'upgrade' to current
model Plus series. It was way more than I wanted to spend, but I did it.
With my new subs on the way, rather than invest in such expensive
cable, I hoped I could get away with something more reasonable in cost
(since they're only running low frequencies). Hence, the question.)))
Wow did you almost blow it
Amarg post's are spot on others are well intended but misguided babbling relative to your scenario.
Just get the standard normally supplied Vandersteen 2WQ twisted pair sub cable its affordable and works.
The Transparent cable is on the darker side and at its best with a speaker that's on the brighter side, just not yours.
After 4 weeks of run in with it you will likely not hear the magic you paid for with your speakers and 2WQs.
The Vandersteens 3A Sigs work great with a relatively affordable AudioQuest cable like Rocket 88
Together they offer Superior articulation tonality and involvment.
With proper high Pass set up and tilt back the speakers will disappear and engage you with their musicality, sounding less like great speakers and more like music itself.
Follow it up with any of the new AQ interconnects Red River on up.
Perhaps you can sell off the main Tranpt cables to someone else who can find a good home using those funds to upgrade yours.
