HELP!!! SPEAKER CABLE???

I've found the nordosts to be very detailed but a little thin. Great for resolution/transparency oriented systems with tube or ultra-clean solid state. I don't know if their thinner, ultra detailed sound might make your system too bright with a solid state amp and your already very detailed thiels. You might want to try all copper cables as a balancing component to warm the sound out. I haven't heard your system, but I'm familiar with the thiel and mccormack sounds. Loved my old mccormack, but found it worked best with slightly less transparent, more bass/coherence oriented speakers such as vandersteen or spica. Also found that it less sensitive to cable quality compared to my pass labs or tube amps. Check out fatwyre.com for a good source of tryme/buyme new and used cables. .............My buddy Craig (Garfish) has mccormack and vandersteen. He has tried lots of cables and recommends the synergistic research as a good match. He has a really good sense of musical system matching. John.
