Audioquest speaker cables


I am looking to upgrade speaker cables and wondered if anyone has compared the Audioquest William Tell bi- wire cable with the Robinhood bi-wire.  What improvements (if any) did you notice?

winning vs learning…. pretty much any AQ wire can be configured in a true external biwire configuration, including a factory shotgun biwire configuration…and yes, they cost 2x.

I don’t recommend an internal biwire configuration, not for AWG reasons, but because it negates MUCH of the advantage of biwiring which is to get the HF wire 3-4” away from the expanding / collapsing field of the LF wire. 

BTW i have a set of now ancient AQ Type 6 in a shotgun biwire configuration that have literally 25 k miles on them…i loan them out so people can experience a true shotgun solid core biwire cable…. i lost count but 7-8 audiogon members have tried them… @bigkidz Peter might comment. Right now they are somewhere in Michigan….

Best to all

both models of AQ you cite are available in  copper or silver. I use a 30” pair of silver in my Reference system, a 7’ shotgun biwire copper set in my other system.

At first they sounded a little rolled off to my ears but I let them play and tried them in a few different systems to get a handle on them.  Then I got more of a handle on the sound.  Good soundstage, mids and bass.  So for the value they were very good.  I own a more expensive pair now to go with my Vandersteen 5As and maybe Model Sevens soon.

Auxinput is right on the main point...better to go with single wire WT and upgraded jumpers than RH Combo, but wrong on the detail about how AQ works in the Folk Heros range...the Combo is in fact a pair of Zeros and a pair of Bass in parallel.  True, their lesser bi-wire cables are made the way he describes.
