Analysis Plus speaker cables


can anyone offer their experience with these cables? tonality? refinement?

I owned a pair of the Solo Crystal 8 for a few weeks. Bought them used, so they should have been burned in.
I really liked the tonality, full, vibrant, pretty good extension in both directions. Not the most revealing cables, but for most, that is a good thing.

The one major nit that I just could not get past was the sound-stage though. A very immediate (forward) sound-stage, as if you were instantly transmitted to the front row. Stage was very wide and high, but no depth.
Personally, I prefer a mid-hall presentation, though I do know others that enjoy that front row excitement. 

After a few weeks I sold them, and have had no desire to try any other AP products. They are pretty popular, so I'm sure that others will have had a more positive experience than I did.
I had 2m Oval 10's and 2m Wireworld Eclipse (14 guage).

The 10's were brighter and more complete but like @jmcgrogan2 mentions, had less of a soundstage. The WW however were really noticeably darker, and friends who came over appreciated the improved sound stage but wouldn't give up the treble for it.

Eventually I gave up and reverted back to 12 gauge stranded copper with ICEPower amps and couldn't be happier.

Best,

Erik

I think leaving your budget might help get you some alternative suggestions. I'm going to look at some cables soon, and plan on exploring the CHORD Company line. Not sure exactly what the AP sell for, but I know some of their cables aren't too expensive.
