what speaker cable do you use on the Evolution Acoustics MM3 speakers or Harbeth speakers.

Hi,

I own and enjoy the Evolution Acoustics MM3 speakers as well as separate system with Harbeth 40.2 speakers.

I mostly use synergistic research power conditioners and power cables so was wondering if anyone uses speaker cables for the Evolution Acoustics MM3 other than those sold by Evolution Acoustics.  Anyone try the SR Atmosphere 4 speaker cables on the MM3?  What about for the Harbeth?  Anyone try the SR Atmosphere 4 speaker cables on Harbeth ?

Harbeth's owner and designer Alan Shaw says that you do not need anything special. Any cable of sufficient thickness for the length will be fine. He occasionally uses ordinary electricity flex for demos. I think he is right, although it helps if the two strands are colour coded or have some ridge to avoid polarity confusion. That is really all there is to it.

You don't need anything special per se, but you can certainly affect the final sound based on your choice of cable.  I suppose the OP was asking about synergistic options.  I went through a few different options and found one that I really liked with the Harbeths, several that I didn't.

If cables have a sonic signature there is something wrong with them. Fortunately, even cheap ordinary cables can be completely neutral, unilke many boutique cables.

I upgraded to Synergistic Atmosphere speaker cables for the Harbeth and find the system has a bigger soundstage and yet very detailed and cohesive sounding
