As you probably already know, nobody is going to be able to tell you what will work in your system, as there are too many variables. Unfortunately, it usually takes several trial and error sessions with various cables. On the positive side, there are plenty of nice used cables for sale here, so you can buy and sell without too much, if any, loss. I personally like Audience AU24 for starters. They are well-balanced and pretty neutral, IMO. There's a 9/10 pair of 2.5m AU24s up right now for $750. I would jump on it if the length is good with you. Plus, Audience has great customer service if you need reterminations or whatever.
Speaker cable advise for spectron/ gallo 3.1
Hello fellow A'goners,
Seeking some opinions on speaker cables. My set up currently consists of: lexicon mc-12 balanced preamp, spectron musician ii (2) running mono (vis PAD y splitter) and Anthony gallo acoustics ref 3.1 speakers. Interconnects are nordost blu heaven xlr, and older M series monster cable for speaker cable.
I'm currently borrowing a friends synergistic research ref x active cables and like what I hear. I wouldn't call it a night and day difference but defiantly enough to make me consider new cables.
I've heard nice things about acoustic zen hologram ii, analysis plus crystal 9, much of the kimber line, etc. I also "heard" the Gallo's do not like pure silver but I have no first hand knowledge of that. I'd like to audition a few cables so I'm just trying to create a short list.
*** I also have the gallo sub amp which I've tried with/without. I'd say each configuration has its pros/cons. I've only hooked it up via my preamps sub out , never to the speaker high/low, which may make a difference.
