Audience Au24se vs Au24sx cables

Please let us know your findings with the Au24sx speaker cables, greginnh.  I'm soon to try the SX speaker cables with my current SE balanced interconnects and move on from there.  Enjoy!

I just placed an order for my Au24 SX speaker cables.  I'm sure I'll have better luck than greginnh as I currently use the Au24 SE speaker cables that sound excellent with my KEF Blades....hoping for an easily audible improvement as per the Audience website, but I believe it will be incremental....we'll see and I'll happily report when received.

Hello all
I've now had an opportunity to listen to the Au24SX Speaker Cable and SX XLR interconnects vs SE.  The SX cables have more midrange body to their presentation and thus more natural.  Bass extension is slightly better but bass authority more notable.  Highs are more extended, "crisp" and natural.  However, these improvements are not day and night over the Au24SE, still excellent cables which I have sold.  Also IMHO the interconnect cables were more notable improvements relative to the speaker cables.  This may relate to a 5 meter balanced run from my preamplifier to amplifier.  I'm very happy with the upgrade but I don't think it's as revolutionary as Audience advertisements might suggest...but still quite worthwhile in your continued quest for natural music reproduction.
I do love Audience cables, conditioners and their friendly service. 
Thanks to all respondents!

PS.  I have recently learned of the passing of Audience chief engineer Roger Sheker. My sincere condolences to all at Audience and, of course, Roger's family.
He was a very talented and pleasant gentleman and he will be missed.

its all relative sir....I was happy with SE, now happier with SX. Wirh Audience, upgrading is a little easier as selling the SE was relatively easy and the upgrade difference was not overwhelming to me at this time. (also relative).  I do appreciate that Audience, although expensive, is nowhere close to the price of some of its best competitors.  I do believe this to be my final cable upgrade.....as you said, there is no end and we're all somewhat habituated to our hobby....thanks.

Hi rja

i don't use digital cables any longer so I can't comment on SX Digital.  However I'm also really enjoying my SX balanced ICs vs SE.  I believe it is indeed worth upgrading to the SX ICs, although my experience is limited to balanced, supposedly a completely new design by the late Roger Sheker.  It is an easily audible enhancement (more body to the image) but still in the evolutionary rather than revolutionary camp.  IMHO the SX speaker cable, although also offering improved images with more body,  is a less convincing upgrade.  That said, I have no regrets or buyers remorse, and am most satisfied with the improved sound of my system from the Audience upgrade.  Good luck and listening to all!  Thanks again to all respondents.

Thank you, John, for your input.  We appreciate Audience's excellent product line, excellent service, your availability and honesty, and your lifetime warranty.  I am very happy with my SX interconnects and speaker cable, and SE power cords, and look forward to enjoying them for many years.

Hi
I'm still very much enjoying my Audience Au24sx cabling, with no plans of changing.  Highly recommended!
