Cable assist needed Krell Amp Thiel CS6

I went through this with my krell ksa80 and thiel 3.6's. the problem is that in search for linear accuracy, the thiels are lasers that burn a hole in the middle of your forehead. To sound right, a speaker should roll off slightly in an anechoic chamber. You are trying to use a cable as a tone control to offset this. I eventually ditched the system and started over with tubes
sorry.

I owned a Krell integrated , and the most sucess I had was with Cardas Golden Cross interconnects and Cross Speaker cables. I would probably substitute the Golden Reference interconnects today. I have a pair on my Rowland integrated, and think they offer all the benefits of the Golden Cross, with a more open sound. The Cross speaker cables were quiet, tamed the Krell and allowed it's great bottom end to come through. If your budget allows, I think the Golden Reference would be an even better choice for speaker cables, also.

I tend to agree with some of the statements made by fstein. For the reason of potential harshness, I recommend the Transparent Reference cables. I have heard the Thiel and Krell combination with the Transparent and it helped the system a great deal.

The Cardas is also a nice idea because they are somewhat laid back.
