Looking for Advice of Speaker Cables

Stick with Analysis Plus! You are familiar with the brand and like the sound. Changing brands is a sideways move. If you did a controlled blind test you would be hard-pressed to identify one brand from another!

interesting.        this might have just opened up a new discussion

Personally, as you are experimenting with speaker placement, I would just buy some 10 or 12 gauge Belden from Blue Jeans and see how the placement works out before investing in expensive new cables.  You might even end up liking them.  They do nice terminations BTW.

A rare bit of truth and honesty.

I went from Oval 9’s to Solo Crystals.  The solo crystals untangle the music in a way I haven’t heard other cables do.  I know, it sounds crazy, but they pull the instruments apart, not physically in space but theres less smearing of the instruments.  I’ve had quite a few cables, nothing this expensive, but these are awesome.  You can get used 10ft pairs for around $1200 if you are patient.

Thanks for all of the advice.  I have pretty much decided to stick with the Oval 9’s and make this a less complicated process since I have been happy with them up to this point.  I am intrigued by the Solo Crystals, however, but the cost is not appealing.  Interesting, I called Analysis Plus and explained what I was trying to do.  I asked what the next step up from Oval 9 was and he said the Solo Crystal and spoke highly of that cable. When I inquired about the various Silver series cables he quickly steered me away from them saying I probably wouldn’t like the sound as they are very bright.  His bottom line was if I’m happy with the Oval 9’s just stick with that model.  Pretty refreshing that a guy from the company was very honest about his product and didn’t try to upsell me.  I would still love to hear the Solo Crystals and compare simply because like many audio enthusiasts there is always an itch to try something new.
