Speaker cable suggestions

I'm going to make a recommendation that some might think a little "bold" just because of their rather plain look - take a look at the KLE Innovations website and their zFLOW22 speaker cables.

You might be thinking that from their understated appearance they are entry-mid level cables, but the performance from such a demur looking cable, is, surprisingly excellent!

Specifically - read Stefan Bertoncello's gZero6 review on the KLEI site, then take a look at his system, which I think is quite impressive#

I have tried the zFLOW's and my review is posted here:
KLE Innovations zFLOW Cables: REVIEW

I actually tried their gZero2's on a Gryphon Integrated [$9k ish] and they outperformed a pair of Purist Audio cables that were much more expensive.

Those gZero2's are now on AV system and I have a pair of the gZero6's are on my audio system :-)

When I tried the zFLOW22's on my system I got the impression they were capable of a lot more, but I believe my amp is just not resolving enough to really flex the true capabilities of these cables.

Having said that - they were the best sounding speaker cables I've ever tried and presented the best image and spatial accuracy to date. They also provide a lot of punch, but in a very controlled manner, with superb detailing and clarity across an extended frequency range.

Wht don't I own a pair? - Once I've upgraded my amp, the zFLOW's will be the very next purchase :-)

Infection - I know what you mean - I was fortunate to be asked to audition his products.

If you should go with the zFLOW I would appreciate hearing your opinion of their abilities on your setup, since I'm investigating a Gamut integrated as a possible upgrade.

Cheers

Infection - to quote you...

"so the input from all you guys is extremely important & appreciated"

So I thought I'd give you some input on a little side trip I took to an audio store today...
- the purpose was to audition a Hegal H160 Integrated amp
- I took down a CD of my most telling tracks
- I listened intently for almost 2 hours
- just me in the store, so no incidental background noise.
- the system comprised of a $12k CD transport, the Hegal amp and a pair of $9000 Focus speakers
- all connected by some pretty impressive looking (and pricey) esoteric cables costing several thousand dollars.

To my point - I have one album that creates a lot of problems in that it causes many systems to fail miserably in their attempts to recreate a really cohesive image. The issue appears to be with the venue reverberations which results in a very muddled image.

With the gzero IC's and speaker cables the effect was not as bad as with many other cables and I found that as I approached the TOTL products the effect diminished considerably.

The gZero20 IC + gZero6 SC were the first to conquer the effects of this album and present an image that not only sounded amazing from a details perspective - but everything was finally in the right place.

The zFLOWS go one step further with amazing clarity :-)

My little excursion today brought this point home - here I was listening to a system probably close to of $30k - but it suffered from a very muddled image on this particular album.

I returned home and listened to the same track on my $12+ system and discovered my ears had not been deceiving me :-)

I realize that a store is not always the best place to audition products, but this store had a very nice setup with absorption panels that appeared to be correctly placed.

Anyhow - just some more feedback on the merits of KLE Innovations products :-)

Regards...
