audience au24 versus transparent ultra mm


Hi,

I was wondering what the consensus would be regarding my speaker cables for my system.

I have a rather live room with modest treatment of back wall and ceiling in my living room.

I currently have audience au24 speaker cables with my wilson watt puppy 7 connected to dartzeel amp and emmlabs preamp/dac and an emmlabs transport. The cable between the amp and the emmlabs is purist dominus (which I love). I previously had nordost red dawn and the audience was far better than that.

I know that wilson and transparents are supposed to have synergy. The dartzeel is great but is not a high powered so perhaps the extra down low punch of the transparent would be a good thing. But the audience au24 has a lot of bass too and don't want to give up emotional vocal imaging! The dartzeel made my system much clearer and warmer but miss a little soundstage that I had with the lamm 2.2.

Thoughts?

Michael

p.s. down the road I am hoping to one day get the dartzeel preamp and if really lucky the wilson maxx2 or jtinn mm2 or mm3 speakers

PAD Anniversary Aqueous and Synergistic Tesla Accelerator easily beat AU24 in my system. AU24 was inferior to both. Bass, soundstage, anything you mention, AU24 was behind. AU24 is a pretty good cable, but there are better cables available now that don't cost much more than AU24.
