Vienna Acoustics and cable

Thanks for the comments. The amp. I am using is a EAD powermaster 1000. Both the amp. and speakers are very smooth. When I switched from braided copper to solid copper the result was very nice indeed. I am amazed how loud I can drive the Beethovens without any fatigue. I would like to hear what silver cable sounds like with the Vienna's.

I saw the new Strauss speakers a Tweeter. NICE

Tim, if you try the silver make sure you can get your money back. Caution: This is a generalization, but in my experiences silver cables sounded better with tubed electronics, while copper sounded better on solid state. I agree with your opinion that solid copper is better than stranded copper. Silver can sound a tad tizzy, or harsh with SS electronics. Copper seems to be 'warmer' IMHO. I've heard silver cables sound glorious with tubes though. I have all SS gear (Classe CDP-1, Classe CP-60, Threshold T-400) so the copper sounds better with my equipment. I'll have to get to Tweeter to check out the Strauss. The Tweeter's in my area don't know how to really set up these speakers for optimum performance though, if you ask me. Some of the set ups I've heard make me wonder how they sell any of these speakers.

I agree with your comment about Tweeter. The silver cable is a big ticket item,and I do not have the cash to throw away. When I called sumiko they recommended Kimber Monocle XL. I forgot to ask about any silver.

You can get silver wire from michaelpercyaudio and make your own I/C's. Shouldn't be more than $20-$50 for a couple of sets.
