Speaker Cable Recommendation


I'm wondering if someone could recommend a pair of speaker cables.  I have looked at Nordost entry level, but they may be too thin for my system. Looking for cables that may add some "weight" to the following system.

Decware 300b tube amp (8watts),  Klipsch Forte IV,   Holo May Dac, PS Audio BHK Pre with 12AU7 input tubes. My room is 20X12, not treated, vaulted ceiling, fair amount of glass. Not a great room :) In the $1,000.00 range

Thanks, Mark

Zavfino Nova $400, Prima for $700 but minimal gain over the Nova's.

All my interconnects are Zavfino as well, details in my profile.

Cost/performance ratio tough to beat IMHO. 

 

Clarity Cables Organic are very full sounding with fine detail.  All other cables will sound thin in comparison.  They could be bought new for close to the $1000.  I tried Silversmith Fideliums among about 10 other speaker cables in my system.  I have a very nice pair of VMPS RM40 BCSE speakers.  This pair are great speakers and very detailed with excellent bass and dynamics.

u/jacobsdad2000 … I think you would be surprised how good the older (10+ years old) Focal Chorus 836 sound.  I do have better speakers 🤣 and clearly the next purchase when the dedicated room is completed will be the MX180. All running on 12 or 10 gauge OFC wire … most of the wire will be in walls.

@n0m1n4l Yes I would be as I have never cared for Focals, only their HP's. If old is your thing then be happy. 

The problem with blind cable tests is the subjects know it is a cable test and by definition will believe they should or should not hear a difference.   This means very large sample size and very high stats to be conclusive. With a very subtle difference and average population, that is a very high bar to pass.  100 listeners and 60%?  Logic says yes, but accepted scientific levels of proof says not even close.   Bummer.
