Valhalla spkr cable good match Pass and Legacy ?

Ozzy, based on your pervious posts and answers, I know your a intelligent audiophile and music lover. We both know when you get to a higher level of gear that personnal taste and system snergy becomes more and more important.

Regardless of what other reviewers have said about Valhalla IC's and speaker wires, I have always found them kinda bright, in your face, and not very musical to my ears. The lover of the wires always come back with, "the Valhalla is so revealing that the shortcoming is in your system, not the wire." Well, I just to agree to disagree. I find them to be one of the most over rated and over priced "pargon of virtues" in high end audio. The only time I thought they sounded O.K. is with very warm sounding tube gear, were the brightness actually helps the system sound more alive.

Finally, since you own one of the great amps of the world, the Pass LabsX-350.5, and I also use Pass LabsXA-100's I would recommend you audition Acoustic Zen's Silver referenceII's or Absolute IC's along with either Satori or Absolute speaker wires in your system. I believe they sound great with Pass amps, are well built, and are very reasonable priced.

Ozzy - According to our customers, Nordost is NOT a good matc for either the amp or the speakers that you mentioned. Semitrical co-ax designs are favored ( Wireworld and/or Straightwire) along with Stereovox, Analysis Plus(Silver or Gold), and Acoustic Zen Silver would also be good matches for this system.

Teajay, Jwpstayman,
Thank you Gents for the kind Help. I will persue all the recomendations.
I just cant understand why so many reviewers, review equipment with them.

Ozzy, I owned Legacy Focus speakers at one time and enjoyed them very much. In the process of upgrading I auditioned 7 or 8 brands of speaker wire and IC's including Nordost. I agree with the comments regarding a lean/analytical bent to the Valhalla tho to a much lesser extent than their other less expensive wires. To make a long story short, I ended up with Silversmith silver speaker and IC's. They sounded the most like music to me without sounding etched or lean. They also had the added benefit of being cheaper than the Nordost,Purist,Tara labs I also listened to(tho not by alot). Unfortunately, I haven't owned the Pass Labs amps but did own an SS amp known to be slightly warm like the Pass(OCM-Belles). Hope this helps and enjoy listening.
