Given what you’re looking for I’d very highly recommend Acoustic Zen Satoris as they exhibit the exact qualities you describe, and at $1050 for a new 8 foot pair they don’t break the bank relatively speaking. They come up used quite often and an 8 ft. pair can easily be had below $500, and if they don’t work out you can just turn around and sell them for little/no loss so very low risk. I’ve had them in my system for 20 years and have compared them to several others and they haven’t gone anywhere. Just another option, and best of luck.
Speaker wire for Pure Audio Project Speakers... advice needed....!
Hello blissed out fellow PAP lovers!
I have been chasing a next level system (for me) and I am on my final decisions / tweaks. I am looking for advice on speaker wire,.
The qualities I seek are golden midrange, reduced high frequency shrill (current issue with system is painful highs), while pushing incredible soundstage, depth, detail, etc... I listen to mostly acoustic, classical, jazz, vocals...
My system currently:
-
SPEAKERS: Pure Audio Project Duet 15 Horn (Mundorf Silver Gold Oil Cap upgrade and high pass filter, Anticable 4.2 Flex Internal wire)
-
STREAMER: Nagra Streamer (Cardas Clear Coaxial)
-
DAC: HoloAudio Spring 2 Level 3 Kitsune edition (Silversmith Fidelium RCA Interconnects)
-
AMP: PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium HP Integrated (Gold Lion KT77 power tubes, Mullard NOS gain tubes)
-
PHONO: Music Hall MMF-9 and McIntosh MP 100 Preamp
Speaker wire I am considering (10-12’ runs)
-
DUELUND 12GA: $500
-
ANTICABLES: 3.1: $430
-
ANTICABLES: flex 4.2: $800
-
SILVERSMITH: $1595
-
CARDAS CLEAR: $4500
Cost is of course an issue, until it the obsession takes hold...! Big fan of high dollar - delight ration.... big fan of not feeling like I am pinching my most glorious machine anywhere...
I am currently running Duelund 16GA, and the high frequency shrill I think I have determined is most likely attributed to this...
Thank you for your suggestions and insight!

I moved on from Cables Only, to Signal Wire Type many years ago. I then found away to experience Wires used in Cables that are extremely expensive. The following is showing a Speaker Cable using PC Triple C Wire, which is for myself as a Wire Type proven to be a substantial improvement to an End Sound when this wire is used in a Signal Path. A prudent watch on the Market will find 30'ft for half the cost of what is shown in the advert. This is not the only PC Triple C Speaker Cable option. https://www.fromjapan.co.jp/japan/en/special/order/confirm/audio9:10004923/2_1/# |
Honestly, if the highs in your system are “painful” with acoustic music, I have serious doubts about curing it with cables. But if you insist on that route, I suggest Purist Poseidon or Neptune. IMO, I would change the amp to a 300B or even something with 845s. Your speakers are very efficient and only need a few watts, especially given your taste in music. |
