Speaker cables with good timbre

I’ve been happy with my AcousticZen Hologram cables for the exact reasons that you mention. They were originally recommended to me by someone praising their accuracy of timbre.

Lots of options i see. My speakers are the Totem Forest Signature. Very transparent with good imaging, in my opinion. The rest of my system is Marantz CD60 and SL La Musica integrated. I'm very pleased with my system so no changes there. This was a good read this morning. Thank you to all who responded.  

Cardas are really good and they have different cables at different price points. Trying different ones from the cable company to match your system is a good idea.

If your cabe runs are approx. 12'  (15'-16' is also fine) try single runs of Neotech 22 gauge solid core copper sheathed in Teflon.

You will require 4 single runs for a pair of single wired speakers.

I'd order them a foot (or two) longer, per run, as you will end up trimming/refreshing the ends over the years.

I've been using 47 Labs OTA speaker cable for 20+ years and I'm on my 2nd pair only because one of our cats damaged/partially stripped a pair.

Use bare wire ends sans connectors.

Hi,

The best cable in the world would be no cable. The next best cable would be the cable with the lowest resistance/capacitance. If you're looking for a cable to create a sound signature or EQ  your system then you're not looking at cables properly in my opinion. You want the cable to completely disappear if possible, although this is not possible LOL but you do want the cable to have a very low overall effect on your system. You don't just want to hear just the guitar strings, you also want to hear the wood on the acoustic guitar. Less is more in this situation.

This is just my opinion but I have had over 500 different cable models. Have a great Sunday.

Cheers Bob
