Vandersteen Treo Speaker Cable Suggestions

I was initially going to buy the CastleRock's, but Johnny said the GO-4 would be just as good.
I really hate spending more on cables than I possibly can.
@audionoobie, 
The GO-4's are relatively inexpensive, especially compared to those damned Transparent cables I had(and they didn't sound good with the Vandie's).

 I had two pairs of AQ Earth Series speaker cables when I got my Treo CTs.  As John R. predicted, they were indeed too "heavy" sounding.  The mid-bass emphasis was obscuring the beautiful treble the Treos are capable of.  After much research on A'Gon and other sites, I ended up with two pairs of  Paul Laudati's Clear Day Audio Double Shotgun all silver cables.  As several others previously mentioned they do sound great with the Vandersteens and do NOT have any unnatural treble brightness to them.  The frequency spectrum is balanced with an open soundspace and natural dynamic presentation.  

Paul has been recovering from back surgery but from the most recent posting from him is either up and running or about to be on making cables again.  Give him a call.  If nothing else, you'll have the pleasure of talking to a knowledgeable guy who is "salt of the earth"

For those of you using Clear Day Audio Double Shotgun cables, how do you recommend bi-wiring these? (my amp only has one pair of speaker terminals)

Do you use jumpers, or just stack the spades? Sorry if this is super obvious, but again, new to bi-wiring here, so appreciate the advice.

Thanks!

gritter2,

I have two pairs of speaker terminals, so no problem here.  In your circumstance you can stack the spades (Clear Day cables are terminated in relatively thin but high quality silver spades). What you could ask Paul is if he can run both pairs of Double Shotguns into one pair of spades at the amp end.  Note:  Paul uses smaller high quality silver spades at the speaker end to accommodate to the terminal strip at the back of the Treos as it is hard to fit full size spades.  In other words, if you call Paul and discuss it, he will tell you what he can do.

As you can tell from your thread, Paul's cables mate well to Vandersteen's as many of us have had the good fortune to use them in our systems. I would strongly suggest you give Paul a call and chat with him.  At worst, you'll have an enjoyable conversation.  He will be straight with you and not pitch his cables.  They speak for themselves. 👍

All the best!
