I need a bright detailed 300 used speaker cable


I recently purchased a pair of Silverline SR 12's and find them toooo polite, soft, and rolled-off in the treble when using Linn LK20's. I need 12 ft or longer, and would prefer a bi-wired pair with bananas, but I can live with single-wiring. I've heard that Nordost might fit the bill.

Suggestions?

Thanks,
Steve

The AP's seem to have different effects in different systems. Some folks love the Oval 9's and some hate them. I found them very lean at the bottom end and smeared up top. The Nordost's are also somewhat lean but much more focused and cohesive sounding.

Since i'm running my mouth again, i would suggest separate runs of cables if you really want to get the best from bi-wiring. A run of Kimber 8PR or VS for the bottom and Kimber 4PR or VS for the top would give you the effects that you are looking for and be reasonably low cost. The VS is slightly smoother and not quite as bright as the PR while also costing slightly more, so depending on how "bright" you want it, you can spend more or less. Sean

Sarah, by suggesting the Goertz / Alphacore cables, i assume that you found them to be bright ? Sean

Thanks for the support and contradictions folks : ) This is kind of a funny thread. Obviously different systems and different people experience different results. Sometimes VERY different. It just goes to show that you really do need to experiment and see what works best for you and your system. At least we've found out that we can "typically" post our personal results, even if they do differ significantly, and agree to disagree.

And to think, this IS a "wire & cable" thread too : ) Sean
