Audioquest or Nordost for speaker cable


I have all Nordost IC but have been impressed by Audioquest power cable and am thinking of changing my speaker cables to Audioquest Thunderbird zero. I currently have Nordost Heimdall. Do you think that’s a good idea, Thanks.

Frey 2 would be a good choice. If you can swing Tyr 2 even better. I use Tyr 2 XLRs and a combination of Frey 2 and Heimdall 2 power cords. Also looking to try Frey 2 speaker cables in place of my Audience AU24SX. 

100% system, room and preference dependent. Until we see what the system consists of, any recommendation is a shot in a dark. 

In that system with AQ power cables and Aria 936, go with Nordost. I own Focal Aira 926 and they are relatively warm sounding speakers. You will fatten it up too much with AQ speaker cables

Asian equivalents... @deep_333 you’re one heck of a comedian dude!

@couger4u While there pick yourself up an Asian equivalent of Rolex, Louis Vuitton slippers and Versace pajamas. Don’t limit yourself to just fake Nordost. Equip yourself properly for a good listening session. 
 

All jokes aside, enjoy your Frey 2 cables. They should be awesome.
