I spent the last year auditioning a number of speaker cables, but still had not found a set to my liking. Mogami and Kimber 8TC have been mentioned and were in the mix, and both had their merits, but some drawbacks as well. Unsure of next steps, and whether going up the price ladder would yield better results, I recently made an offhand comment in a general cable discussion describing my quandary. In jumps soix suggesting something similar to the post below.
@soix I’d highly recommend looking at these 12’ Acoustic Zen Satori cables that are well within your budget if they’re still available. They have plenty of tonal weight but are also well balanced with excellent and natural upper-octave detail and throw off an excellent 3D soundstage.
I took the bait and picked up a used pair of the Satori's and was very glad I did. I put them in my system and they sounded pretty average at first, but this was not unexpected. I gave them a couple days to settle in and was really wowed once I started listening. They were not only technically good, they were musically great, bringing a very liquid sound. I second his recommendation.
