I was hoping to get some suggestions on speaker cables that have a dark, warm presentation. I am running a pair of NHT VT-1.2's. They are fairly revealing in my system and are punishingly bright with brightly recorded software. My ears are VERY sensitive to high frequencies and can quickly become fatigued with bright material. I have changed out my interconnects to Harmonic Technology Truthlinks because of their warmer sonics. That helped a lot. I think the addition of dark, warm speaker cables will get me where I want to be. Right now I am biwiring with a shotgun array of Music Metre Signature (4 single runs per speaker). The associated amp is a Sonic Frontiers SFS-40 (6922/KT-90), but I have a pair of SFM-160 monoblocks (6922/6550) on the way. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Transparent Ultra, Ultra XL, and Reference are also dark, warm sounding speaker cables. They are usually available at way off retail on Audiogon. Sarah
i have not had experience with some of the other cables mentioned but i own two cables which i think would smooth out your sound while remaining detailed---the audioquest type 2 and the stealth premier copper--the audioquest is very cheap unterminated as well as terminated-i purchased mine terminated from audio advisor.com--the stealth is much more expensive and is compared by the manufacturer to the cardas golden cross and can be found at stalthcables.com i beleive-sometimes youll also see them at auction here on audiogon.
