Spkr Cables . Can you use 2 diff brands at once?


Kind of a strange question, but due to reconfiguration I need a longer speaker cable on one side. Already own Kimber double bi wire 4tc, which Im happy with, and have a chance to buy one Audioquest Forest + Bi wire at half price to solve my length problem. Dollarwise at retail these cables are in the same leauge. Any problems anyone can see happening? Using a Classe Amp. Thanks.

Darryl; I can't comment on the electronic effects (if any), but the two speakers will most likely sound different with different brand speakers cables going to each-- maybe even significantly different. I would expect there to be poor musical coherency and maybe a screwed up stereo image. Also, it's generally considered not desireable to have speaker cables of different lengths either. I would strongly recommmend against it. Good Luck. Craig
Good post Scott. It seems we were posting at the same time, and you said it better than I did. Cheers. Craig
Thanks for the info, I will take your advice and scratch that idea. Thanks for the suggestions !
Tie one end of the short cable to a stop sign the other end to the bumper of your vehicle. Now just pull the car forward, problem solved. I'm good :^)
Don't waste your time. I had TARA Labs/XLO Reference on my B+W 802's because a store in SF had the same thing. Stick to one brand.
