Synergy seems the key factor from my point of view. In my system I recently tested Try2 vs Transparent reference speaker cables. The Transparent have better bass with more emphasis on tone and sustain. The Tyr2 have better highs and highlight the leading edge. If I did not have 2 JL-113 the Transparent win out as the Nordost seems a little light in bass. With the subs I prefer Nordost as the air and highs from Nordost cables along with bass from subs gives the better sound overall. I had a previous system with Opus MM2 speaker cables and in that system nothing i tested came close to the midrange magic the Opus gave. Regrettably it seems the best advice is to trial cables in your own system. PS I ordered the Try cables.
