Looking for new speaker cables


I’ve been using Audience AU24SE cables for a few years and really like them. They have all the detail, air, and speed I need. If anything, they might lack a bit of body. That’s my ideal, all those good qualities but just more body. Not to the point of being thick or slow, though. Does that make sense?

I’ve recently tried the Tubulus Concentus and Fidelium but will continue looking. The newer Audience SX and Front Row cables are said to be way better than my SEs. I remember when the SX came out everyone said it was basically a new direction in sound for Audience. So they are a potential candidate, if anything the Front Row. I’ve also read good things on the Townshend Fractal cables here. Budget probably up to $7-8k but $4-5k is the comfort area.

Looking for suggestions that might work. Air, speed, and a more body than the SEs. Haven’t called the Cable Company on this yet, just looking for user or listener experiences at this point.

I've had high end models of Audience, Audioquest and Synergistic Research.  Then I happened to read some reviews on Silversmith Fidelums, tried them and they smoked everything I'd run.  Amazing speaker cables at any price and yet extremely reasonably price......shocking really.  Three of my audiophile are now running them.  A little surprised they have not been mentioned.  Worth exploring.  BTW, may be the ONLY cable of any sort that also sounded very good out of the box....they do improve but can be enjoyed immediately.

Enjoy the journey!
