Valhalla spkr cable good match Pass and Legacy ?


I have noticed alot of the reviewers use the Nordost Valhalla speaker cables to audtion new equipment.
I have also read that along with all the accloades on that cable that the the Valhalla can sound lean in the bass and the midrange with certain equipment match ups.

There is know where that I know where I can audtion these cables with my equipment(except for the Cable co and I prefer not) and they are rather expensive to purchase even used.

So, I need some help, I own a Pass Labs X350.5 Amp in which I think has a warm sound and a Legacy Focus speakers where again these are not lean sounding , will a Valhalla speaker cable be a thumbs up or a thumbs down with my combo?
Thanks,

People have to use the properties of cables and equipment. When you have the possibillity to try many cables so you can compare them you now what they can do. I always judge a cable or part of the rest of a system what it does. I use Valhalla loudspeakercables for many years now. It is not a cable what is harsh. When you use it well you will have a resolution you never heard before. I say to people just take your favorite cd's with you and listen. People hear so many new things that they are impressed. But is all Valhalla in a system a good choice? Is it the synergy what brings a system to a higher level. Nooooooo...it never will. Why? Because it misses important properties other cabels have. Other example? Many of my audio friends used the Cardass Golden ref speakercable because it has a musical "warm" sound. When we compared the Valhalla with the Cardas, the people who play and played with the Cardas where stunned how much more resolution the Valhalla had and how much better the sound was in the mid freq. Totally uncoloured and not harsh at all. As the would have expected. So look for a demo and listen with your own ears. And then you know what it does. it is not interesting what people think or say. They cannot listen with your ears and with your system in your room.

Good luck and I wish you all the best,

I have a lot of knowledge of many cable, because I listen to them in many systems. So also with Nordost products. A Valhalla sounds so much more ease and relax than cheaper nordost products. So people never can compare the cheaper ones with the Valhalla. It is from another plannet.
2 years ago the Valhalla powercable came out. It was really stunning. I tried many good powercables ( Siltech Ruby Mountain Hill, MIT AC 1 and 2, Purist Audio Aqueous, Electraglide Ultra Kahn RevII, Electraglide Epiphany x, Cardas Golden ref and may more. But there was no one who could match the level of resolution of the Valhalla powercable. Very good results on sources and conditioners. And Yes the Valhalla powercable is not a good match on many poweramps, only sometimes it works well. But to much Valhalla will cause problems. There is a lack in the low freq ( A Purist Audio is the best in this area by far) and also not well working in the mid freq. This also counts for the IC cabels of the Valhalla. But, for a part you can use the properties of the Valhalla in many systems. But you always will need other brands properties. The Valhalla cab di things no other cable can do. When you play with fully Valhala wiring in your system you lose individual focus, and the mids are less involving and many times you lose some depth. But exept of all the notes I wrote the Valhalla is a hell of a good product. But use it well and just for a part, never use to much of it. That is the fault many people often make. Use different brands in your system so you can use more properties, so you will get closer to the sound you prefer. I never got the best results by using one brand of cables.
