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.
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.
