Satori Shotgun or Hologram

What do you hope to accomplish with these cables?

I thank you for your response Rsbeck. This is my first system so I am just trying to get the right cable for the best sound and also to know whether I should use a single wire w/jumper or bi-wire.

I have to apologize for my fellow A'goners smacking you around about your speakers. I had a pair of CDM-7NTs and sold them to a friend who wanted an upgrade. They are very competent speakers and really shine with certain types of music and HT too. I enjoyed them thoroughly and their new owner absolutely loves them. The CDMnt series sold/sell like hotcakes both new and used, so apparently someone out there likes them besides you and I.

Anywho, I also feel that biwiring is the way to go. These guys love a bucket-o-watts too, so give them all the power you can.

This may be off topic since you asked about Satoris, but, Transparent wave 100 singles were my first upgraded cables. I liked this pretty well. Smooth top end, OK bass. Then I shotgun biwired with SignalCable. A little more top end and very good bass. Finally I ended up with Analysis plus Oval 9 shotguns and I am very pleased so far.

what is a 2 1/2 way ? how many terminals do you have ?

The brass jumper plates that connect the HF and LF terminals are very poor conductors and degrade sound noticeably. I'm not sure how your speakers are wired internally but just because they are biwireable doesn't mean they necessarily sound better that way. You should try both ways and decide for yourself. If you do decide to go with a single run then you will get further improvement by replacing the brass jumper plates.

By the way, I didn't mean to imply that Satoris were better than Hologram. Hologram are better cables but the Satoris still sound fantastic. Great bang for the buck!

Good luck!
