I have owned Harmonic Technology 9+ Pro cables that I didn't particularly care for--I missed the transparency and upper end clarity of my previous Speltz Anticables. After several tries at upseeding the Speltz with other good for the money cables including various Morrow cables, Crimson, DNM, I tried a pair of MG Audio Planus III copper ribbons. They totally messed with my perception of what speaker cables could do for the sound. I bought these at $900 used several years ago. Their sound was WAY above what I'd ever had in my system prior. But I did not like their bulky and fragile nature. Philip of Amadi Cables let me try the Amadi Maddie Signature silver cables which are only about 3/8" in diameter and came in 8 ft. vs. 6 ft. lengths of the MGs. They had all the good points of the MG with even better high end clarity with no harshness plus even deeper bass. The fact that Philip was selling these for $600 new and they were even decently flexible were more pluses. My speakers are very detailed and dynamic, VMPS RM40s with all their options other than the outboard crossover. These are ribbon based speakers with 40" of ribbon drivers. The rest of my system is at least the speaker's equal or better. These speaker cables are dynamic, transparent, lucid mids, ethereal highs, with textural deep bass, and I could go on and on with the typical adjectives, but you get the idea. Philip will let you try these in your system with a generous return policy to really get a handle on the sound in your system. He has ads on Agon monthly that you can reply to. He will set you up. His ICs are also very good--not just good for the money. They will end your quest for better ICs and SCs as they have done mine. His power cords are quite a bit stiffer but sound good.
What speaker cables can complete with Audience 24e or 24e SE for less $$
Looking to replace my Harmonic Technology Pro 11 + speaker cables whose girth and size are too awkward for my current living space.
Therefore, I have considered Audience 24e or the 24e SE speaker cable, but even the used prices for 6 ft pair with banana plugs is over $1100 on Used Cables.com and more on AG
Therefore, I need some recommendations for less bulky speaker cable that offer the same quality of sound of the Audience cable, or close to it for less money. Obviously, I will only buy used to expand my dollar range
Speakers are Golden Ear Technology model 7's:
Pre-amp: CJ PV-14L SE;
Amp: BAT VK 200 ( 100RMS)
Thank you, SJ
