AQ Type 4’s are pretty good cables, in their newest iteration, which includes a carbon-loaded polyethylene dielectric. There is something harmonically pleasing to me about the solid-core copper in polyethylene. My main issue with them was the relatively smaller aggregate wire gauge (i.e., about 15awg when connecting the 20 and 17 awg wires together for each pole). If you can bi-wire, you might try buying an additional pair for your MF/HF connections and then doubling up the cables you have now and run two full cables in shotgun fashion to your LF posts (about 13 awg to each pole) where wire gauge is more important than geometry.
Im going to regret my cable question
Having read so many "do speaker cables matter" threads, reviews, etc., over the years I am going to open up this can of worms again. So here goes.
I would like some opinions on the pairing of my amp, speakers, and a possible upgrade of speaker cables. My kit consists of a Rotel Michi X3, S2 and Monitor Audio Gold 300 G5's.
Would anyone venture a suggestion on what might be a good fit, with a budget of no more than $1200 CND.
I currently have Audioquest Type 4 which are some years old by now. Im looking at AQ Rocket 33 or 44's but I am open to other brands.
Although I understand the "coat hangers work just as well" theory I would prefer only constructive suggestions from those who feel there is a benefit to cable upgrades please.
Cheers.
