AQ Argents vs Goertz MI2 Speaker Cables

Another Gon member has turned me on to Goertz cables. Before doing some research on Goertz these past few days, I thought they were gimmicky with their flat cables that might be suitable for custom installations.

So far, I've read plenty of favorable posts on Audioreview, Agon, and AA. But, I haven't read any posts on how it would compare to my Argents. Have you had experience with Audioquest cables and Goertz as well, namely the Argent and Mi2, ofcourse?

If you have experience the rest of the Goertz's product line compared to Audioquest cables, these opinions are greatly welcomed as well.

Thanks!

I am running Argent+ bi-wire on my Maggie 2.6R's with great results, although the maggies are single wire. I have tried Goertz MI3 and Oval 9 with much poorer results. It almost sounds like the detail gets laost in the heavy guage. Hope this helps.

Viggen, what´s your system? Have you compared the Argents to any other cables?
I´m also interested in the Goertz speaker cables. They are said to be a great match with my Magnepans (according to the Cable Comp.) which currently are hooked up with a double run of AQ Argent. I´m also curious to find out how the Argents stack up to other cables, Kimber, Tara, etc.

Hi Hasse,

Unfortunately, I havne't compared the Argents I am using to a lot of other cables.

I have Kimber 4tc and Midnight3. Comparing to Argent, neither of these cables sound "right" in my system.

My amp is 8002 Aragon, and the speakers are KEF103/4. I have much better results using full range application.

Hi Viggen,

What is the major sonic difference, in your system, between
the Argents and 4TC/ Midnight?
