The original (pre-LEIF series) Blue Heaven and Red Dawn were indeed very different sounding, with BH being softer sounding and more laid back in perspective while the RD was more forward and revealing. This often led to one being generally preferred in a particular system type while the other sounded less suited to the same system. The new LEIF series is much more consistent in presentation and just gets better as you move up the line regardless of the system's perspective. Hope that this helps!
Nordost New LE series speaker cables. Improved??
I am looking at THREE of the new Nordost "Leif" series speaker cables. "Purple Flair"; "Blue Heaven" and "Red Dawn" The PF is approximately in the middle of the series and the RD the top. I have heard the Purple Flare and thought they sounded OK; the "Blue Heaven" I did not hear because my local dealer had no loaners available. However, I have read and been told the "Red Dawn" is outstanding and the one to buy, though it ain't cheap.
Need some input on these new Nordost speaker cables, especially anyone who owns or has owned the new Red Dawn LE
