If you’re looking for musicality, Duelund Coherent Audio makes both 12 and 10 gauge tin-plated copper in oiled cotton that sound great for the money. Pair with some rhodium-plated connectors and you’re in business. The $1500 price point won’t be a problem.
Speaker Cables : Moderate priced
I am about to embark on upgrading speaker cables ( long over due ). Currently use Tributaries 12 awg UL copper cable. I need a long run for one speaker ( about 20 feet) and this has impacted the budget. I hope to spend around 1500 dollars. Looking for a musical tonally rich sound. I am not a detail nut.
Looking at the usual options: triode Wire, Audio Art Copper, Ice Age, Luna cables to name a few.
Wonder what the crowd has experienced in this price range; and open to new suggestions.
