I wonder if anyone has experience on what speaker cables to use with single ended and Horns type combo? Does calbes make a different with these kind of set ups? Cheers.
.... the sound of my Audioquest Sky is salubrious, exquisite, stunning, glorious and dazzling and the sound of the XLO Unlimited is superlative, smashing, magnificent, superb and impeccable...
I recommend the first generation of wire world eclipse speaker cables. I have consistently preferred the sound of my eclipse cables to all others I've tried. This includes Auditorium 23.
When I rewired my Lowther DX4 Medallion II with DNM Precision wire I nearly fell out of my chair. Excellent wire and not at all expensive. Don't let the low cost fool you. These wires brought the sound quality to a whole new level. Clarity, pace, attack, everyting across the board improved.
I think cables can make a slight difference especially if those low powered amps are SET's. Also seems like the thinner the dielectric, the better.
Cardas makes/made a special cable for this type of amp called the SE-X (X depending on gauge).
They were copper and one thing they all had in common was a very thin dielectric. I used them and liked them. I now use silver wire with a teflon coating.
The theory is: the lower the soakage (absorption) of the coating (dielectric) the less smear will end up at the speaker.
