I own the Eventus Audio Phobos speakers with a Pass Labs XA30.5 amp, ARC LS17 pre and Meridian 588 cd. ICs are Cardas Ref Neautral and present spkr cables are AP Oval 9s which were fantastic with my old Martin Logan speakers. My dealer is a Basis dealer and he loaned me the speaker and ICs from Basis and a pair of Oyaide speaker cables also. Doing an A/B/C comparison, of course there was none as the Basis really opened up the speakers. It moved the stage right to front but didn't overpower the frontal stage. Bass was nice and tight and the mids blended well. I listened to Dianne krall and she sounded like she was maybe 3 feet in front of me, it was extreme. As i just bought the speakers, the cables will have to wait but i know what direction i am going. Good luck on your search.
Speaker Cable for DeVore Fidelity Ref Silverbacks
I am an ecstatic new owner of the DeVore Fidelity Reference Silverbacks in my primary 2-channel system. Associated gear: Ayre DPS TT with the standard modified Rega tonearm and an EMT JSD5 MC cartridge, ARC PH7, ARC CD7, ARC REF 3, and Luxman MQ-88 (colder months) and Nagra PSA (warmer months). Balanced interconnects are Auditorium 23; SE interconnects are either Aud 23 or Nirvana. Using Shunyata power cords and a Shunyata Hydra V-Ray. Isolation and dampening via Harmonic Resolution Systems and Finite Elemente.
The last musical hurdle to clear, and I admit it is a lot more important than I believed up until a few years ago, is the speaker cable choice. For those of you who own Silverbacks or another DF speaker, or for those of you who have listened critically to the Silverbacks or another DV speaker, I would appreciate suggestions for speaker cable for my system. I am considering Basis, Chord Signature, and Auditorium 23, and am open to suggestions. For any of you who use one of the above three speaker cables with non-DF speakers and want to share your thoughts, that would also be helpful.
The room is 14' wide by 25' long with 8' ceilings. The speakers are positioned on the shorter wall about 8.5' apart and about 2.5' from the rear wall.
I listen mostly to classical, jazz, blues, and vocals.
As always, thanks in advance for all comments/suggestions!
