Alpha-Core Goertz speaker cables

My curiosity is tickled by these speaker cables and the idea that low cable inductance is the desired electrical characteristic for speaker cables, after low resistance. I find no discussion of this in the past topics and few systems show these speaker cables. What are your thoughts on this type of cable and its advantages and disadvantages? Any current users of the M1 or M2? I am currently using Wyred 4 Sound Sx-500 monos with short anti-cables and Von Schweikert VR-4JRs. Thanks in advance.

I've been using the MI3 speaker cables for many years with out any amp problems, but I recently purchased new speakers with a tri-wire connectons on back. I have the opportunity to purchase another set of (used) MI3 cables, but I wonder if doubling the amount of these cables will cause my amp problems. Anyone out there had experience with this? I've had my cables since 1997 so I don't know what I did with the networks or if I ever had them.

Thanks for your insight, Al. At this point I will probably pass on the extra set of cables and just get better jumpers. But if the system matters that much, here you are: Tube amp--AudioPrism Debut Mk1. It is very flexible in that the output can be set to 2,4,6, or 8 ohms, and the feedback has settings for each of those outputs. Right now I'm using the 4 ohm output setting and the '6' feedback setting. Only problem is that the bottom panel must be removed to make any changes. I think it has 16 screws!

My speakers are the Spendor SP 9/1. They have a 5.6 minimum impedance, and are rated at 91dB sensitivity. The MI3 cables are 8 feet long.

So, good or bad match for the bi-wire option?

Thanks again.
