Vandersteen Treo Speaker Cable Suggestions


I recently purchased a demo pair of Vandersteen Treo (non CT), and am wondering what people recommend for bi-wired speaker cables? The Treos will be paired with a Hegel H-160 solid state integrated amp.

The dealer I am purchasing from has recommended Cardas Parsec speaker cables. Does anyone have experience with these? Would be very interested to hear what has worked for others. I'm excited to spend some time over the holidays with these awesome speakers!

(If helpful, my system includes a Rega Planar 3 w/ Dynavector 10x5 and LFD Phonostage LE with LFD interconnects.)

THANKS!

(((I have Vandersteen 5A's with Ayre and am using ClearDay double run biwire.....have tried LOTS of different - Cardas (worst), Audioquest, Kimber, AntiCable, etc.,etc, and none was nearly as good as the Clear Day.)))

 Did you actually ever experience or have any of the latest
  Audio Quest DBW DBS cables in your system?

 Glad you are making progress.
 Make sure you read the Owners manual with distance and tailback.
 after you get that right try and find a Hegal Dac 12 and run it Balanced with an AQ Yukon XLR it will open up your digital to another level by comparison to the internal DAC and complement the system.

Yes, it affects the proper tilt back readings.
 Have you tried it with and without the gliders?
Absorbing energy from Gliders is an easy way to soften up your leading edge details.
Make sure you are aware of what it does in your system not just do it cause some other fellow gushes how it worked for him in his system that was crude, to begin with. Take a laser pointer to establish both speakers are tilting back the same on top of speaker firing forward shoot behind your head position on wall mark it with a post-it note sharpie to get both speakers verified at the same tilt back. Reading the manual of sitting higher on a pillow then normal and then sitting low. Using a live piece of well-recorded music like Diane Krall verve
 One of those three will sound right then adjust to your correct measured seating height acoringly.
