I am a fan of first order crossovers and Thiel, Vandersteen and Meadowlark designs. But to get back to the basis of this thread I feel it is simply hogwash and marketing hype for any cable manufacturer or dealer to say that certain cables are/are not appropriate specifically for first order designs. The electrons couldn't give a rat's ass about phase effects in the wire; that is simply silly snake oil mumbo jumbo. While I am convinced from first hand experience that cables do make a difference in sonic quality, this imparting of anthropomorphic behavior to electrons is complete horse hockey. Go with the cables that sound best, not those which some cable marketeer tells you is compatible with the electronic bahvior imparted by the freakin' crossover design. Man, it really gets my goat when good people on agon get messages like this from industry jerks with nothing more than $$$ signs in their eyes.
Blindjim, you are a good man, don't fall victim to this nonsense. Would you care to share those particular manufacturers with us?
