Pure Audio Project Trio 15 - Silversmith Audio Fidelium internal wiring upgrade

Thank you all for the tips: wiring upgrades, different Caps, L-Pads and the like.  Ideally I would like to listen to these upgrades in my system before I commit.  I think step one is ringing PAP to see if I can get a loaner on some of these upgrades.  

Stay tuned.

I have my Quintet 15’s w/ Voxativ Field coils wired completely from Amps to drivers using Anticables speaker wire, I’m running the "FLEX" series from the amps to the crossover, then double runs of the bulk 12 AWG wire to the drivers. I have them twisted with negative positive to prevent any capacitance effects. I have been truly blown away by this set up and it costs a fraction of other solutions. A lot of speaker builders Cheap out on internal wiring and crossover components. The stock wire PAP sends with the speakers is just average. If you can, upgrade the crossover components to the premium Mundorf products PAP recommends. You will be amazed by the difference these make and are definitely worth the price.

Agreed, the Anti-Cables are the best I've ever heard on the Trio 15. I just run a single 12 GA wire, and 3.1 wires from Amp to Speakers. I did purchase the upgraded caps and resistors from Mundorf , that also made a significant improvement. I really like the sound I'm getting now. I didn't think the Fidelium ribbons added much and I didn't like the way they connected to everything, very awkward connection. Yes, and the price is right!

I am intrigued by the different wiring up grades.  My Trio15s shipped with Van de Hul CS 16 (red cable) and Van de Hul CS 12 (black cable) for the three runs between the cross over and the Voxatix AC 1.6 driver and each of the two 15 inch woofers.  I have corresponded with PAP about obtaining a loaner set of Silversmith Fidelium internal wires and it appears that they may have a set for in home trial.

I will post my impressions in the event that I receive the Fideliums..  

Thank you all again for the input and helpful suggestions.

I have the Quintet15s with Coax, and am looking at wire upgrades. I also have the Van den Hull wires. I am very curious about the Anti cables, as look good value for the price.

Yes the earlier post about having an L Pad can be useful, I had that on some of my earlier non PAP speakers. At the moment I need a bit more treble sparkle and details. My room may be affecting the level of bass, so good to try and tweak the upper ranges if possible in level, not alter the caps values.
