Recommendation for an audiophile speaker cord that is not "bright"?

@213runnin

I assumed if the OP has tried and considered Nordost Frey 2 that Wireworld Eclipse 8 wasn't over his budget.

Wireworld is usually the opposite of bright, but with good imaging as a trade off. May be ideal for you.

The Cerious Technologies Graphene Extreme cables are very good sounding and don't here toward brightness.  Their Matrix cables are much better, but cost almost 3 times as much.  I have the CTGE cables which tended to tone my VMPS RM40 speakers with 40" of ribbons per speaker down and give them more of an organic sound with better balance.  They go for $640 for an 8 ft. pair, but you could find them used for around $350-400 a pair.

I will second the suggestion for Cardas.  If you can find a used pair of Cardas Golden Reference, they are excellent and not bright.   Expensive at the time, but can get a better deal, now.
