Vandersteen Treo Speaker Cable Suggestions

I recently purchased a demo pair of Vandersteen Treo (non CT), and am wondering what people recommend for bi-wired speaker cables? The Treos will be paired with a Hegel H-160 solid state integrated amp.

The dealer I am purchasing from has recommended Cardas Parsec speaker cables. Does anyone have experience with these? Would be very interested to hear what has worked for others. I'm excited to spend some time over the holidays with these awesome speakers!

(If helpful, my system includes a Rega Planar 3 w/ Dynavector 10x5 and LFD Phonostage LE with LFD interconnects.)

THANKS!

I have Quatros and I very much enjoy Anticables. I’ve tried the audioquest sky (I think that’s what it’s called the blue one with the dialectic bias system) and couldn’t tell the difference after a month. Anticables sometimes need to be played for an hour after I’m away for a week, but otherwise they are strellar,

I ran Quatros with Clear Day Double Shotgun, two pairs for true biwire, and I thought they were a very good match, especially considering the price.  I did move on to some Elrod Gold Statement biwire cables that bested them, but at a much higher price tag.  You can try them out and return them to Paul Laudati if they don't light your fire.  They lit mine!

Clear Day Double Shotguns, a great choice. Paul has been dealing with health issues, and closed his business temporarily. I don't know when he is reopening, or if he perhaps already has. Do a Clear Day search here for more info.

I would recommend Audioquest Castle Rock speaker cables. They sound great on the Treo's and Quatro's. I would suggest trying them before you buy though. I have observed that Audioquest speaker cables sound best when you use their interconnects as well. I am not sure how they will play with your LFD interconnects. If LFD makes speaker cables you might want to try those also. Good Luck!
