Looking for speaker wire (bi-wired) suggestions for two types of speakers

I have two types of speakers (both bi-wired) that I use in my audio systems that are used with a solid state amp and a tube preamp, listen to both vinyl and cd's and all types of music. Prices not to exceed $2,000.00 for an 8.0 ft. biwired pair.

One speaker pair are the Usher Mini-Diamond 2's circa 2017 

The other speaker pair are the Eminent Technology LFT-8b'S brand new

Acoustic Zen Double Barrel Shotgun is a great cable that does everything right and doesn’t put a foot wrong.  Best of luck.

many prefer either a double run, or single run with jumpers, not internal bi-wire...just need to try yourself...endless debate about that on dozens of identical threads...

Just my opinion but a single run of the next level cable often sounds better than two runs of lessor cable and both at similar cost.

I’m a fan of the single cable run with jumpers

- but not just those silly little jumpers that some with the speakers

You need to make your own jumpers using

  • 0.5 meter of 2 x 18 gauge UP-OCC solid copper from VH Audio FOR EACH JUMPER!
  • KLE Innovations Banana plugs

Why such a long jumper? - I do not know the answer to that but I exchanged extensive emails with a guy in Bulgaria that found 0,5 meter to be the optimum length.

So I tried them and they worked amazingly well

As for the actual speaker cables - take a look at Zavfino products - they actually work very well

- they are very well designed and built and their entry level are reasonably priced

Hope that helps - Steve
