Cables by LAT International

I am considering trying some speaker cables from this company. The prices seem reasonable and the description of materials and construction sound impressive. They offer a 45 day trial period which is generous. Has anyone tried these cables and did uou like them? I am looking for a bi-wire set-up for VAC PA100 to N802 speaker and the copper and silver combo sounds interesting.

I am using their SS-1000 D bi-wire speaker cables. These replaced JPS Superconductor 2 speaker wire ($2200). I had been using the JPS for over a year and after trying LAT's Mark II IC and being very pleased, I ordered the speaker wire to try. I had both the LAT and JPS on hand to compare with and both my wife and I easily chose the LAT. (Your system may vary.)

I have three LAT pcs, and have tried their SS-1000 D bi-wire speaker cables.

The LAT PCs were better then what I had been using, but have since been cycled down into HT and secondary system duties. If money is short the LAT would be a good choice, however for around 100$ more I found the Coincident CST-PC to be much better.

I had a speaker matching issue with the SS-1000 D bi-wire speaker cables. The SS-1000 D bi-wire speaker cables are very smooth, somewhat laid back, and have a full bodied bottom end. They didn't work well with my Aerial LR3s, which imo need a more lively, linear, and open sounding cable. YMMV. LAT was very good about taking the cables back and refunding my money within their 45 day trial period.

I have two of their powercords, and they sound great on my trans and dac.

I've read in previous posts on audiogon and audioreview that some amp manufacturers swear by LAT AC2 such as Mckomack (spelling).
