Analysis plus oval silver or oval 9 ?

I am wiring my Talon Peregrine X speakers up and i am looking to find a good decently priced cable. (As i need a very long run of it, so it adds up fast.) I think i am going to decide between the Analysis Plus Silver Oval and the oval 9. I was curious what people's thoughts were on the differences between them. I would also consider Acoustic Zen Satori or Hologram if i could find it cheap enough in a 20 foot lenth. Thanks a lot, - Ian

As I see it you have 2 problems-- gold silver? and length. Many speaker amp combos do better with the 9 copper. Many amps would not be happy with a 20ft. run.My guess because the 9 is 9ga.-- the silver is less thick---.Maybe contact the Mfg.

I was using the Silver Ovals for mid-highs on my B&W 801 s3 and Oval 9s on woofers. The Silver Ovals have more hi-freq detail but less halographic. In the end I got rid of the Silver Ovals and when for the musical, for me, presentation of the Oval 9 biwired. But I could easily see someone else preferring the Silver Ovals in a more dark system or different musical tastes.

Ian, don't you live in a dorm? Why do you need such a long run of cables? And I'd stick with the Oval 9's...the Silver might sound a little (or a lot) tipped up, especially with your Quattro Fil's. Cheers!

Well my equipment is under my bed, not on a rack or anything and my speakers are placed on my desk. I have to run the wire along the walls of my room. The speakers are only about 8 feet from from the equipment but it is not a direct run. I guess ill just stick with oval 9 for now. Also does anyone know if AP is going to use their new single crystal copper (ala harmonic tech and acoustic zen) in their speaker wires. I believe that would make their wires truly world class. Let me know ... Thanks - Ian
