Audience Au24 SX Speaker Cable Impressions, VS?


I’m considering new speaker cabling and the Audience Au24 SX is one option.

I’m evaluating it via The Cable Company’s Lending Library Program. They just went into my system and have about 24 hours on them.

Reaching out to Owners of the Au24 SXs or those that have compared or demoed them.

Looking for your thoughts and impressions. Pros and cons? Other options you considered and what led you to perhaps make another choice?

Thank you!

I have upgraded from Ayre AU24SE rca between my preamp and new Ayre 5 VX Twenty to the Ayre AU24 SX balanced cables.  I have used Audience cables for all my interconnects and speaker cables for many years.  My dealer loaned me a set of the SX for a weekend and the difference was enough for me to order the upgrade.  The SE cables are excellent in musicality and detail, but the SX added more weight and clarity to the presentation.  I will be upgrading the remaining SE cables to SX over the next few months.
I look forward to you impressions.  The brand new cable that I received is still early in its breakin period.  Unfortunately I also have a new amp undergoing the same process.  Each day there is a large smile on my face. 
I have been adjusting my system into its new room in our new home and have not been very timely with any SX updates.  My Audience AU24 SX XLR cables reside between my VAC Renaissance Mk3 and a new Ayre VX-5 Twenty. My local dealer for both the Ayre and my SX cables believes 500 hours are needed for the full resolution of each of my new pieces to become apparent.  The system continues to improve though adjusting to the new room makes any true comparisons impossible.  I also had the privilege of an in home trial using well broken in samples but I agree the DNA was noticeable when I first connected the factory fresh cables and incremental improvement has continued daily.  I'm using Audience SE speaker cables and most likely will upgrade to the SX in the future.
