For speaker cables I recommend the Canare 4S11 speaker cables. For around $100.00 you will get a fairly neutral cable that sounds amazing. I switched from expensive cables to these 5 or so years ago and never looked back. Break in is long, around 500 hours but everything is there in spades, thunderous bass, smooth midrange and a very delicate treble. I did a long thread on the cables and breaking them in, I loved them so much, I use them in both my systems now.
Warm, flexible, cheap-ish cables?
All,
I’m looking for a good set of cables (speaker, RCA interconnect, digital coax) to replace a bunch of cheap off-brand cables with something better from a single manufacturer. I have annoyingly specific requirements: they need to be on the warm/forgiving side, need to be flexible at the connectors because of a tight fit behind by gear, and need to be reasonably priced (probably not more than around $250 a piece).
I tried Kimber Timbre interconnects and Kimber VS21 coax, but this combo was too bright/leading-edge focused in my system.
Thanks for any advice!

stereo5: Previously difficult to source in smaller quantities Canare 4S11G (OFC) is now available @ the following link (45 cents more a foot). This said, the original 4S11 (which I have) is not very flexible, but I do prefer it sonically to the older versions of Kimber 4VS/4TC I've used in the past. https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/canare-4s11-g-now-available

Cerious Technologies Graphene Extreme is exactly what you've described. They're relatively flexible - but not around tight corners. The later models: Matrix & Luminscape are more detailed. Not what you want. |
