I've had a set of Clear Day double shotguns for 10 days now and they are living up to the expectations I had for making a change. I received the Clear Days on a trial basis and ended up keeping those. The difference is subtle but noticeable. I went from Speltz bi-wires (not bi-amped) to these where I'm running four-strands to a single termination on each speaker, with Clear Day jumpers on the Silverline Sonatinas II (93db) and to the Magnepan 3.6Rs (85db) into the single wire terminal on those speakers. Short story: the Speltz are a bit brighter on the high end...like hearing what sounds like a plastic tipped drum stick on a ride cymbal where it sounds like a wood tipped stick with the Clear Days. Harmonics seem a little more complex and warm on the Clear Days. All good. I suspect my hearing is below average when it comes to higher frequencies, so I'm keeping the Speltzs at the ready. The ease of using the Clear Days, particularly ease of movement between the maggies and Silverlines, without having to bend and contort the wires and guide them past cabinetry and woodwork, is worth the only slightly greater cost.
What speaker cables are most like Speltz cables?
I have been using Speltz Anti-Cables with my speakers for quite some time; I am happy with the sound and have had no urge to change for sonic reasons. However, with a re-arrangement of my system I'd like to use a more flexible cable...and one that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Any suggestions?
