Neutral-ish Speaker Cable

Hello @jaybe ,  Congrats on your recent upgrades!  I in fact had Audience AU24SX, full loom, selected after trying several cable brands and models from the Cable Store.  Then my dealer brought over Kubala Sosna Elation speaker cables when he delivered my new speakers.  Wow.  All the resolution and airiness I liked about the AU 24 SX but much more mid and low fullness and dynamics.  More meat on the bone so to speak.  And very natural, not forced at any frequency.  They are about three times as thick as the AU24SX.  Anyway, call me a fan of KS now.  I have upgraded much to Realization, but the value spot is Elation for speaker cables, power cables and interconnects.  Good thing it was easy to sell the Audience cables!  BTW, I did previously audition the Emotion line of PC's in my system and did not choose them.

Hi @jaybe and @soix !

I agree the lower lines of K-S are a bit dark and less resolving on the high end.  I initially tried a full loom of Emotion power cables and did not like them as much as the Au24SX.  But not true at all of the Elation and Realization lines.  These are very resolving and balanced, full spectrum and natural.  No bloat on the lows and now glare on the highs.

And I agree the Acoustic Zen cables are nice and a value.  I recently purchased a used pair of Hologram 2 speaker cables for my vacation home.  They are really nice, and a really good deal used.  but they are not K-S Realization or Elation, to me.  Same with their interconnects.

My system is very resolving.  I have so far not liked cables with silver, as they can be a bit tilted towards the top.  But, I have not tried high end cables with silver.
