Wow, this is interesting. I have used AU24 speaker cable with a BAT VK200, Bel Canto SET40, Blue Circle BC22, Pass Aleph 3 and a Bryston 4B and never experienced anything close to this. With the balance of my system I thought they excelled more with the solid state amps. Since you blew tweeters in different speakers using two different amps, I'm curious to see what you find out. Could it be that the ribbon tweeters are more sensitive to inductance/capacitance variances during music than regular tweeters?
Audience Au24 with high current SS amps....
..is anyone using the Au24 speaker cables with high current SS amps? I had good results with these cables with my tube amp, but with two different SS amps of relatively high current I have blown two ribbon tweeters in magnepans. And yes, it was the tweeter in either speaker, not the same one twice. I heard some rumblings that the capacitance of these cables might not be the best match for my application. I cannot find any figures on the Audience website about the inductance or capacitance of their cables. Any thoughts?
