Look into the Cerious Technologies Graphene Matrix speaker cables. There is a 6’ pair on a used marketplace that I have no affiliation with selling for $550. These cables are phenomenal for the price and will beat out cables in the $3K range in my opinion. I am a dealer for Synergistic Research and DH Labs, and I do not represent Cerious Tech. But I have tried them, and they fit your requirements f body, speed and clarity and are well worth the money. That said, beware, they are incredibly thick and heavy as they have ceramic and graphene baked into them.
If Nordost and AQ Speaker cables had a baby?
Ok in all seriousness, running Simaudio and Dynaudio with and older set of AQ Mont Blancs. Demo’d a similar rig wired with Nordost and really enjoyed it except the bass. My AQ’s are just much fuller and deeper than what I heard from the Nordost BUT loved the detail and speed.
SO anyone have a suggestion on what I should consider to give me the speed and clarity of Nordost and weight and depth of AQ? Would prefer to keep this around $1000 for a pair of 2M cables..Thanks in advance!
