HELP!!! SPEAKER CABLE???

best bang for the buck is the analysis plus IMHO. what one wants in a cable is total neutrality w/ incredible ability to let you hear all thats there. these cables do not add anything, yet they transmit everything.

See good deals on new close-out MIT T2 cables are Audioadvisor.com

Thanks so much for your all considerations.

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.

My experience with the Nordost is that the Red Dawn (and RD Rev.II) are fuller throughout the mids/bass than the Blue Heaven, and also superior to the 8TC I tried. Very open, detailed and fast. I currently have Coincident (copper) speaker cable and find I prefer it to the Red Dawn. The Coincident has almost as much detail and openess as SPM with more fullness than the Blue Heaven. It's pretty reasonably priced. Search some older threads - it's a very popular cable at Audiogon.
