Silversmith Fidelium

I had the same experience as Ozzy did when I tried these cables.  I had to increase the volume a bit as well and I felt the dynamics and extension on both ends was a little curtailed compared to my other two speaker cables.

Both of the amps I used with them and still use are the Pathos twin towers hybrid integrated amp and the Tsakiridis Aelos all tube EL34 integrated amp.  

My speakers are 97 db and 8 ohm efficient.

I assume it is a synergy issue as I know the reviews are excellent.  I was able to sell them for almost no loss as they are very favorably reviewed.

I guess nothing is ever going to always work in everyone's system.

I had them for about two months and probably had over 300 hours on them using two different amps.  The sound did not really change at all.  They just did not work in my system for some reason.  What really bothered me was the reduced volume compared to my other two speaker cables which was unexpected.  But they are so light and the packaging very small that should they not work out for someone. they would be very easy to return or sell.  Nothing against Silversmith they are a great company.  I actually used their Silver interconnects for many years and now my brother in law uses them.
