Audioquest cables?

I am the owner of a pair Audioquest Midnight speakercables, but I am looking for better sound from my Dynaudios and I think I could get this with another speakercable. I think the Midnight is to soft in the bass, More control and fastness is what I need.

I tryed Nordost, but it´s to metallic and analytic to my Dynaudios. But then I think: couldnt I just buy a more expensive and newer Audioquest speakercable?

Have anyone heard the diffrences between old and unexpensive Audioquest cables, and new and more expensive Audioquest cables? Or maybe just experiences with new Audioquest cables?

What Dynaudios are you using? Control and fastness is a trait related to speaker critical damping and amplifier more than a cable. It is quite unusual for people to complain that Dynaudios are slow and lack control. Are you using a tube amp perhaps?

The ported 52 SE seems to lack woofer control but most Dynaudios are very controlled. Some Dynaudios take a long time to get used to compared to the typical warm resonant bass of other designs (usually reported as long break in times, as people get accustomed to the new sound)

Move your Midnight to the Bottom ( bass only ) and try to find a pair of Audioquest Argent ( Argent + if your lucky enough ) for the top end..Great combo..Used it for years on B&W 801s..The Midnight is much better at Bass only and the Argent has some Silver and is exc. top end cable........

Concur, dynaudios are typically known for their analytical nature and tight bass. The bass issue sounds like a front end issue and the newer copper Audioquest cables are generally very smooth cables that aren't detail monsters while being solid in the bass which sounds like it should be what you are looking for.

I think the Supra Sword speaker cable, from www.Madisound.com or www.audiorevelation.com, are extremely fast and detailed, but also full bodied. I ended up upgrading all of my system after getting them in order to take advantage of how good they are. They're also less than $1000.00. If you call Audio Revelation instead of Madisound, hold your ground and don't let Jay push you in the Crystal Cable direction, they're a lot more expensive. He also has a pair that you can audition.
