Straightwire speaker cable Crescendo vs Crescendo II


Hi all,

Looking for some info on the difference in sound between the Straightwire Crescendo (original version) and Crescendo II speaker cables.

Appreciate any info. Thanks.

Hi,


I have a chance to get either one.


So just wanted to get some advice on the difference in sound between the 2 versions.


Thanks

The biggest difference is in the inner core design.  My understanding is that the II was an improvement over the original in both dynamics and detail. 

The II also supposedly more flexible than the original (it is one seriously thick and stiff cable), but can't imagine that it makes that much of a difference since the III is still like wrestling a boa constrictor sometimes.

The original is a fine cable, but I'd go with the II if given an option.
