I second Nordost SPM speaker cables. I am running 2 sets of biwired SPM 2 feet long. Doubling the SPM speaker cables requires four posts on each amp and four posts on each speaker. Shorter is better to my ears. Two feet long SPM speaker cables requires the amps to be very close to the speakers but sounds great.
What to replace Nordost speaker cable?
I currently use Nordost Red Dawn speaker cables between a Krell 400xi and Focal Micro Utopia Be's. The cables are 2m long and I think sound pretty good in my system. That being said, they are a huge pain to connect and situate in my equipment rack because they are flat ribbon cables. I'm moving soon so now would be the best time to replace them.
I'm looking for recommendations, but I do like the "Nordost" sound or lack of or whatever it's called (no flames please). I've looked at Cardas, Kimber, Audioquest, etc. as they all have a good reputation and I'm not very familiar with other smaller companies. I will say this though. I tried Canare starquad cable and yes, it sounded different. Muted and rolled off highs, compared to the Red Dawn.
Another option might be to just get 3m Red Dawn for a little more slack.
Thanks,
