Audio Physics Virgo II's - Cabling

the old distributor for ap reccomended fms...

i corresponded with ap in germany a while back and they wire the speakers with silver wire and voiced the speakers with wireworld gold eclipse... i did try a silver speaker cable ( audio sorcer if i remember correctly and it wasnt a good match, but adding one set of silver interconnects was pretty good ( tried the wireworld silver eclipse 5 between cd to pre) and another time the audioquest cheetah between my pre to amp...both were great individually but i never did get to try silver together...

they are pretty revealing speakers and will show any weakness in the chain... make sure you have upgraded your power cords or they will never sound right no matter what speaker cable you use...( went with audience pc's)

i have good success with soundstring speaker cables with my libra's (best so far- and i have tried at least 10 differnt cables from $250 to $2500)...

also heard the az satori was a good match(didnt try though)... btw, the dimarzio was good for the price with the libras but not the highest resolution (soft focus)

hope that helps,

Hello Geoff, Cardas Neutral Reference worked pretty good with the Virgo's. DiMarzio were also good for their price point. My DCCA cables transformed the sound into something no less than amazing. So natural yet so very very powerful. You need something that will bring out bass in the Virgo's and DCCA cables do that in spades. I found that a natural and very neutral cable worked best for me.

The best way to describe the DCCA cables is they
are unfatiguing, you can listen to music for
hours.

Thanks for the responses guys!
The DCCA's are nearly double the amount I have budgeted for speaker cables, so unless I can find a used set at a significant discount I won't be able to afford them.
Also a lot of the other suggestions (like cardas Neutrals...) are 300+.
Any recommendations <250$? or is Dimarzio the best way to go?

Another set to consider, if you can find them used is Straight Wire Maestro II. New they are @$300 less than the Cardas Neutral Reference. They are well made (except the spades are easily bent), but in my solid-state system were pretty neutral, clear, had very good resolution, and did nothing to call attention to themselves. I think I was able to hear more what the rest of my system was doing than any limitations or colorations of the cable.
