At that price point DH labs are very good. I switched to Lat internation cable because of the build quality. Lat are a little smoother sounding with tighter bass but not as detailed. I would rate them as about even performers with each having different strenghts. Lat offers a money back gurantee so you could try them and return them if you were not happy. Another factor for me is that the lat speaker cables are shielded. I read recently that at 30hz a speaker cable makes a very good antenna.
DH Labs as the next step?
I just compaired a friends DH Labs Q10 Bi-wires to my Tara-Labs Prism Bi-wires. The DH Labs are just as advertised very smooth and they take the "ariness" out of a lot of the vocals. The Tara's were an awsome upgrade from the original Monster cable. I have a Carver AV-505 AMP driving Energy C-4 speakers. Is there any other cable that I should look into before spending the money for a 12' pair of the DH Labs @ $325? I think my limit for this purchase is around $400 and I also will need a center channel cable. I am not picky about new or used, any suggestions will be appreciated.
