Speaker Cable Suggestions

silver is fine as long as you are not overcharged for it

Yes on used cables and change until your complex load (speakers) give you the sound you want

Kimber tells you the inductance of their cables...

for the record I have some free kimber I used on Vandies; when I switched to maggies inductance is not an issue as the Maggies don't care" about the inductance of the cables (nearly pure 4 ohm load at all freqs.)

Another vote for Clear Day cables. You can try that in your system and return them. Paul will send them to you without asking you for your credit card info :-)

+1 for stringreen and milpai!  You can get two 8 foot pairs of Double Shotguns from Clear Day for $900.  You can audition them for a month and if not satisfied back they go for a full refund.

It can't hurt to call Paul Laudati, the proprietor and tell him about your system and the prospects that his cables might be a good match.  The Clear Days are detailed across the frequency spectrum.  There is an organic sense of realistic dynamics.  Very revealing in the treble but SMOOTH.  I am very sensitive to tipped up treble with any edge whatsoever and it just come through with my set-up. YMMV of course.

@hifiman5,
Paul does not even charge you for the audition. He simply sends the cables to you. If you do not like, all you need to do is pack them up and send back through USPS which might cost you a MAX of $15.

randy-11,

It is hard to get overcharged for silver if you do a comparison of the sellers on Ebay. Compared to the prices charged by the manufacturers of most silver cables, the cost of making your own silver speaker wires is very reasonable.
