Merlin speaker/cable combinations?

The Au24 also do wonders with my full SS Brinkmann system. Great cable, even though it's hard to believe when looking at it...

it is true that i like the cardas golden ref and audience au24. just keep in mind that i do not recommend shotgun bi-wires with large gauges of wire on the tweeter and woofer. i recommend internal bi-wires where the tweeter wires are a smaller gauge (14 gauge or less) than the woofer wires. 98% of the time you will get much better sound using my jumpers and a single wire hookup. i also do not recommend ribbons or large gauges of solid core conductors. i prefer litz as a rule.

Hi Bobby
So if I understand correctly-single run Card golden reference or Aud Au24 to jumpers ideal and perhaps more cost effective as well ?Difference between Cardas and Audience ?Which would you prefer with ss output amp and VSM-MM's ?
Thanks

i think either would do a fantastic job. using a single run with my cardas wired jumpers will give you a fuller balance than the internally wired cardas golden ref. this internally wired cardas is my reference wire with my otls which have a relaxed and tonally rich character. the single wire/jumper is a little more relaxed in the treble and better with amps that are less fleshed out. in an absolute sense, even with my favorite amps, the difference is less than a few % with the single wire/merlin jumper or the internally wired cardas golden ref.
the audience has a slightly fuller tonal balance in the mid bass making it a great wire with ss and less fleshed tube sounds and the cardas is more complete in an ambient sense making it better with more fleshed out tube amps like my otls.
either wire would sound absolutely fabulous as many will agree. one plays a fuller tonal balance and the other plays a more 3d presentation.

I use the AU24 in my system, a minimalist one that consists of Sony SCD777ES, Berning Sigfried tube amp, and a pair of Merlin VSM-MM. The result is quite realistic,and it draws out the musical response nicely. The bass especially comes out very clean with the Au24. For CD that sounds not engaging before, it comes alive now. Last night I listened to the Georghui recording of Verdi heroine with the Au24 in the system and the effect is musically indeed.
