Would appreciate your opinion of the analysis plus speaker cable. Would be using it with magnepan speakers & ayre v3 amp.

This cable has been WELL covered both in the archives here and at the Audio Asylum. Seems to be very system dependent and it's a love / hate type of thing. I think that you'll really have to try it for yourself in your own system and see if it blends well or not. Sean >
I use AP's new home theater 14ga wall insulated. It is absolutly fantastic. I find it much better than the silver sonic t-14 they replaced. They are very neutral and no where near as bright as the t-14. I paid $2.30 a foot from a guy in ohio that uses it for professional ht installs and buys it by the spool. My friend had the AP silver which he sold used for $400 and replaced it with the 14ga. His system sounded better with the copper. I learned that price had nothing to do with performance in this case! He also rewired his speakers with it. Highly recommended.
I purchased a 2 run bi-wire set of AP Oval 12's for my Maggie 1.5's. Out of the box they were disappointing - very thin sounding. After 50 or so hours they are starting to sound better and I hope they continue to get better. Regardless of what people say about the quality of cables and whether or not they have a break in period its my observation that in my system they are changing for the better over time but I think its going to take quite a while before they settle in - maybe 250 hrs or so. Hey this is just my opinion....
