3 speaker cable options - what to choose?

Jmcgrogan - Yup, that's the spirit, everything's much clearer now - just what I was looking for. thanks for the tip."

He's right. There's a reason some of us are not sure that you are doing the right thing by getting your cables before electronics. I can only speak for myself, but I think its foolish. You can get lucky, but the reality is that the same pair of cables can sound different from one piece of equipment to the next. The Gabriel Gold Revelations that you tried with your current amp may sound bad on the next one. Just to be clear, I'm not saying they will definitely sound bad, but it is a real possibility. That's just the way it goes with audio equipment. Also, I speak from actual experience. I've made this mistake myself (and plenty of others, too).

A top KIA is a LOT better than an entry Benz."

Spot on as always, Schubert.

Schubert...I don't know if you know that Anti's are different than they were a few years ago. There are now various grades and the copper itself is now pure and aligned...not magnet wire.

Also, I have to disagree with you on the top KIA which is better than the entry level Benz. ...though the Benz probably lasts longer. The Korean cars remind me of how Honda came into the US...lousy (rust buckets) at first, and now at the tops of their class.

I agree, and I have gone through the same issues myself, as I think all experienced audiophiles have. Which is why we tried to say make your amp move first. However, the OP seems determined to make the speaker cable move first, putting the cart in front of the horse so to speak, so what can we say but "go to it chap". He is determined to learn from his own mistakes, we cannot say he's wrong. We all had to learn our own way too. So go ahead and buy the cables that you obviously want Behemot, and then when you get your new amp, get your new cables......again. And so it begins. ;)

I guess that's a mistake I'll make as a part of my learning process, as foolish as it may sound, sometimes the best lessons are the one's you learn from your own experience.
In this case it is likely to save me from questionable future upgrades...
Nonetheless I do expect an improvement from the switch.
Amplification upgrade is nothing but a vague plan for the future, nothing concrete.
If I'll love what I'm hearing, no further change will be necessary (except for experiments for curiosity's sake).

Anyway, although it didn't change my nor helped me choose, this discussion had still taught me something. Good enough.
Thanks guys
