Speaker Cables for my Focal Sopra 2's


I have my Sopra 2s connected to Bryston 7b3 mono blocs. Currently using triple twist ocos speaker cables which work well but I was thinking of upgrading to Clarus Crimsons (or Nordost Heimdall 2) . Open to info. on this or suggestions.

tnx.

You may use what Bryston does use: Belden, or Van Damme. 12awg.
I would go with a higher gauge like the 5t00up... it is a real 10awg (measured without insulation), and is less than 50pF/ft capacitance, less than 20uH/ft inductance, and resistance is less than 1% of the lowest impedance point that your speakers will ever reach.
In other words, it is like no cable at all in the eyes of your amp and speakers.
Bryston was keen on canare lv61s and 77s, as they used to package it with their names on it.  They seem to have moved to van damme from the UK.
If you contact focal and bryston, they will confirm (unless they are partnering with a cable marketer at a trade show)..
