Speaker cable change??


Was curious (still again) concerning speaker wires and their sound effect in relation to my current rig. using original  (Grover Huffman) SX bi wired to my Slant 6s  (only) if I were to change what would you recommend? Since I am, I want to retain detail but still have full smooth sound and pick up additional enhancement in the bottom realm and since I'm using ARC CD 3 Mk 2 and DSi200 I was just trying to see if I could find a balanced compromise as I do know Silver would be smooth but, would probably brighten the sound more and not necessarily enhance the lower registers as I want? Would a hybrid be a better choice to achieve this?

Budget is a consideration, any suggestions from owners that have had usage with these types of gear?

"why are so many kinds of cable twisted....?  What is the advantage?"

@stringreen 

I thought it was to minimize RFI. Not sure though.

These are awesome and unbeatable at this price and you can probably bargain these down.

I used these with B&Ws when I had CD3 MkII and ARC preamps. 

As an alternative I think you should be able to get Acoustic Zen Hologram within this price range on a used market.

The Purist are better cables though. 

@rsjm80 - take a look at this thread

It explains some of the current approaches to cable design - without getting into the science.

There’s three brands mentioned...

  • they are are all excellent performers
  • with varying price  points
    • but you do get what you pay for

WRT strnded vs. solid wire

  • sollid wire can handle more current
  • has less distortion

Silver wire is more dynamic and detailed

  • which can sometimes be mistaken for brightness.
  • If a cable is bright it is more due to geometry and insulation employed

Hoper that helps
