cables recommendation


Hi guys,
I intend to run 2 sets of cable from my audio research vt100 mk2 to my vr4jr speakers, I already have a pair of analysis plus oval 8 for the bass unit. as for the mid/hi unit I still searching for a transparency, forward and open-up sounding cables.
can you guys provide me some recommendations, my budget range from $800 - $1,000.
thank you.

I know that the VSA's are wired internaly with Analysis Plus but IMO they do not sound good with AP speaker wire. I listened to several models in teh AP line and they all sounded terrible to me.
I'm not a wire guy mind you, but I have heard two types of wire; those that muck up the sound coming from the speaker and those that don't. IMO everything else is just pretty outter jackets, pretty terminations, and lots of money that could otherwise be spent on speaker upgrades.

Go to a dealer and ask to borrow three sets of speaker cable from different manufacturers. One will sound better (act as less of a filter than the rest) in you system.

Good luck!
