I had mono blocks & went to used Anthoney Gallo 3.1 Speakers with 8 foot high end Silver Plated O2 Free Twisted 12 Gauge Copper Cables (Cables came with the speakers). I was underwhelmed with the highs, especially Cymbal Sheen.
Later, I built 3 foot long, 5 Strand Pure Silver, (Just under 12 Gauge Total) Teflon coated Speaker Wires & connected them directly to the Mono Blocks.
WOW did the highs ever Jump out & Cymbals had that Sheen, just as in real life.
I do not know if it was the Length or Silver, but the combination was spectacular!.
