Speaker cables for paradigm studios


I am looking to upgrade my system. I'm most likely going with the rogue audio Sphinx2 to pair with my paradigms. I have studio v1 and v3 speakers. I have Aq type 4 now. Is it worth biwiring? $300-500 range depending on biwiring. Thanks

I wanted to offer this for consideration.
I started a dialog with Paul this morning about changing my speaker interface. I have Paradigm Studio Reference 100v3. Driving them with Mark Levinson no.334.

He actually took the time to check the specifications on my speaker to ensure the proper recommendation. Since my speakers are down at 88dbs, the Double shotgun would be the best choice as it brings the most signal to lower efficiency speakers at or below 90dbs.

Then offered the 2, 3 and 4 strand jumpers in an attachment.
(milpai, The attachment for the 4 strand double shotgun was the same as the link you posted above. Nice system).
He did recommend in the future that I audition a second set of Double Shotgun for a true biwire configuration. Bottom line, I'm ordering a set, and jumpers.

One more thing I was unaware of, he does offer interconnects!

milpai, 

If your still in copy, I'm curious. Can you explain what you meant by "better gain"?

milpai, 

Thank you for the information. I am very interested to see/hear my results!

Thanks for the follow up post. I agree on your statement on interconnects. I'm currently using Straightwire Crescendo on my CD player and Audioquest Cheetah, (silver with upgraded DBS) between my Classe' preamp and Levinson amp. Both cabled are balanced.

On the speaker interface is Audioquest Gibralter single biwire. I'm hoping the Clear Day Double Shotgun's will do what everyone has reported. If they perform as anticipated, I will consider looking into Paul's interconnects.

milpai, and others,

I have had an open dialog with Paul for a couple of days. I must say that he is one of the nicest people you will ever encounter. He is a very knowledgeable individual and we are lucky to have him in our hobby. (obsession?)  He is sending some product my way.
