Midrange heavy speaker cables, any recommendations?


It's fair to say that most all of my components are of good quality, are properly isolated and have a quite neutral personality. However my newer loudspeakers are a little on the bright side compared to my previous Dynaudios; and rather than swapping out components that have served me well I've changed speaker cables twice in an attempt to restrain the smoothly accurate, but somewhat abundant, top end. Rather than continuing cable experimentation I thought I'd throw the matter out there and get some feedback from my brothers out there the HiFi cosmos.

Any recommendations for reasonably priced (under $500) cables that have a more prominent midrange without compromising transparency and top end performance?

Get an equalizer (Schiit). Use it. Speaker wire is not a tone control. No matter how much wishful thinking hopes it is so!

No, a speaker cable is not a tone control but they, like all electronic elements, all have a personality specific to their design, materials and construction. This becomes more obvious when fewer components, shorter signal paths and elimination of unnecessary components that compress dynamics and color and degrade the signal are introduced into the system. I have always been a proponent of the "straight wire with gain" principal of sonic reproduction. It has been my experience that less is more; and the more pure the signal the less the distortion. The simple changing of a power cord, interconnect or speaker cable can often have an immediate and obvious impact on system fidelity.

morbius is correct .Analyss Plus  Oval 9 or Oval 12  if  9 is too$ .A lot are sold 

and a used is fine ,
