another what speaker cable for vandersteen

Current equipment

  • Rogue 99 pre amp

  • Rouge Ares phono pre amp

  • Rogue m180 monoblocks

  • SOTA Saphhire III

  • Dynavector DV-20X

  • Sumiko Premier MMT tone arm

  • Rega Saturn CD

  • Linear Power Supply for DAC

  • Brooklyn DAC

  • Vandersteen 2CE

  • Audio Sensibility power on dac/cd

  • Kimber PK10 power on pre amps

  • Signal Cable power on amps

What I currently like, detail, mids and highs.

looking to improve soundstage, have attacking bass. The vocals, seems to be a little to prominent or upfront at this point.

I borrowed some Monster MH 1 speaker cables {true biwire}  and currently hear more detail in the highs. Bottom end did not change much.

Is it in the cables or in my head?

Richard Vandersteen and Garth Powell will be attending the LA/OC
Audiophile Society September 29. Garth will be discussing his new
line of speaker cables that up to now have only been rumor. The new
line is called Mythical Creatures. I'm not sure if there will be a demo, but
it would not surprise me if there was one. A short while ago Garth
attended another meeting of the Society at the same dealership, Sonny's
Componets in Anaheim, California. At that meeting we heard all about
the fantastic new Storm Series of power cables from Audioquest. Now
we will see Garth and hopefully hear the much talked about new speaker cables from Audioquest. If they are anything like the Storm Series Hurricane power cables that I purchased, these speaker cables will be very special.

Charger, is there anything on the net about them?  I may just have to ask directly, lol. Firebird is the name of the speaker cables was told.

So they changed the jacket on the Hurricane from red to dark blue so that the Firebird can use red throughout it's range from cord to cables.  The Hurricane hasn't changed at all and this is directly from AQ.

Teh Firebird is going to be special based on what I was told by someone who heard it in a system he knew well.  Really looking forward as these will be game changers and make others think about what they are doing and how.  he has measurements to go along with it all as he always does.  Hey, it's Garth, so it can be measured.
