Flat spkr cables: Nordost Red Dawn or Alpha-Core Goertz AG2


Flat speaker cables: Nordost Red Dawn or Alpha-Core Goertz AG2?

In 10 foot runs with good solid state amp and preamp. Can anyone compare and contrast these 2 cables which are roughly the same in price. To different designes to produce a good flat cable. Suggestions, recommendations, advice? It may be impossible for me to compare them in my system before purchase. Need flat, and need to run it under a rug (WAF is important here). Thanks for the help.

I have used both the Goertz and the Red Dawn Rev 11 speaker cable using a Jeff Rowland amp and Von Schweikert speakers's and found the Red Dawn to be a better match in my system. I found the sound very detailed and musical. The Goertz wire is also very good but with less detail and speed. I think the Goertz would work better is a system that leaned toward a bright sound because the Red Dawn would probably emphasize the brighness. If you have the chance to try both of them I would because in my experience wire is very system dependent. Good luck.
