Speaker cable recommendations


Greetings all- l am interested in hearing member's thoughts and recommendations on speaker cables. l understand this is an inherently subjective question. l currently switch between Kimber 8tc and Harmonic Technology Pro 9 cables. l like the depth and weight of the Harmonic Technology and the speed, clarity and dynamism of the Kimber.On the downside the HT may be a little slow and the Kimbers a little too forward and bright. Can anyone recommend or suggest cables that may contain the strengths of both cables ? thanks in advance - Mel

As a point of information, the roughly 7 percent or so difference in resistivity and conductivity between silver and copper can be way more than compensated for by going just one gauge size larger in copper. It can also be compensated for by making the copper cable 7 percent shorter than the silver cable.

To the extent that silver and copper may tend to sound different when used in cable designs that are otherwise similar, IMO the reason(s) are almost certainly unrelated to differences in resistivity and conductivity, and are probably unexplainable in a manner that withstands quantitative scrutiny.
