Alpha Core Goertz......need recommendations

I am going to upgrade my speake cables. My system is the 20 yr old Infinity RS-1B's......I contacted UsedCables and they recommened Alpha Core cables because of the cost and quaility. I will be using short runs and will start with the base application.....(amp ((perreaux) to crossover and then crossover to base column). Then another (higher quality Alpha cable) for my mid/treble application (amp ((ARV VT100 mkll)) to mid/treble column.

Anyone have any experience and comments on these cables or any other recomendations??

Thanks all!!

Hi Sean..here are the specs...
The Perreaux is the 2150B (although I might want to upgrade((Krell-Rotel?????)) and it powers the bass columns. The speaker cables must go from the power amp directly to the servo crossover on the infinity. Then another pair of speakers returns from the crossover to the actual bass column. The mid/treble speakers get hooked to the amp directly. Steve at UsedCables suggested that this Gortz cable, used for the mid/treble, be of a higher quality. All the speaker runs are short...no longer then 5-6 feet.

I hope this helps!

Sean,

Thank you so much for the most thoughtful and comprehensive response...(and to the others as well)!
I am NOT a technical audiophile so your comments about the use of an impedance network.....boy, I began to get a cold sweat when I was reading that. However, I am working with the folks at UsedCable (I'll call them tomorrow) and pass along your information.....I will keep you (and all here) informend! Thanks again.....
