I am using Canare 4S11 speaker cables.They replaced an old pair of Straightwire Maestro cables. I think they improved my SQ. Better image and soundstage. I needed a 18' pair. So the cost of a higher level cables would be prohibited. I think they are very good for their inexpensive price.You wouldn't be loosing much if you don't like them.
Best lower end cables for B&W speakers...?
Hello Everyone,
I’m relatively new to mid grade audio equipment and recently purchased a pair of B&W 702 S2’s and a HTM71 S2 center channel. To me, they are very clear and unforgiving speakers. I also use a Velodyne sub, but not all the time. So far I’ve been in love with them but am using borrowed speaker cable, straight 12 guage, to just try.
The Blue Jeans certainly seem reasonable enough, but in my head cables may be more speaker specific than a lot of other applications so I wanted to see if folks had used Canare 4s11 or some other cable that would be 500 and under per pair with their B&W’s. I can get these for 150 and certainly seem reasonable.
At 150, if they don’t work it won’t be the end of the world but figured I’d try here to see what people thought who had B&W’s
