How good are the Audience Au24 SX speaker cables?


How good are the Audience Au24 SX speaker cables?  I read that the SX is a big improvement over the SE.  I am currently using the Triode Wire Labs SC and wondering if the SX would be a good upgrade.  Has anyone ever compared the 2?  I am looking for significant sound improvement over the TWL without breaking the bank.  Thanks.

I'll be getting my Au24's back from Audience this week. They underwent repair and upgrade. I've always enjoyed these cables along with their power chords and interconnects. Looking forward to hearing the upgrade!


Much Thanks! Guys

it seems that I have been away from Audience for far too long. I will have to re-visit this brand as soon as possible.

Happy Listening!

I own the TWL SC, and PC and absolutely loved them!  They, however, don't have the same soundstage as the Au24SX.  Where the TWL's are a bit more "forward" the Au24SX is slightly warmer with more depth. Both are killer when it comes to midrange (without being lackluster in the highs or bass).  And as a matter of fact, the TWL has slightly better bass, but the Au24SX has better bass extension and decay. You can't go wrong with either.  However, I would say if you didn't really care about price, the nod would go toward the Audience Au24SX (not by much). And the longer you allow them to burn-in the sweeter the sound.  While I'm not a fabulist or prone to hyperbole I can say so far these are the best over-all cables I've heard and or owned.
I use the AU24 SX speaker cables, which I purchased new, with my Magico A3 speakers. With the caveat that I have not tried other cables with these speakers -- also relatively new -- I find the SX's near faultless. Their bass in very tight and deep; midrange is fluid and melodic. The only minor criticism I may have is that they lack some sparkle at the very top end, but with the A3's this may be a blessing in disguise. With my previous speakers, I used bi-wired Valhalla 1 speaker cables, which some say were thin and tipped up in the highs, so perhaps that is what I became accustomed to.
The SX's may not dazzle, but that is a compliment. They are excellent performers that are easy to live with and are an exceptional value.
