What would you use ?

Hi all,

I'm in the process of upgrading some elements of my system and am investigating cables. I need to make a bi-wire 12' run to my Snell E.5 speakers. Will be upgrading the amp at the same time. I like the Snells for their accuracy, taut bass and nice soundstaging. However, they can lean a bit toward a cool sound. At present, I am using an old Sansui amp which has a warmer sound so the balance is nice. I am also presently using 12 gauge 'regular' old speaker cable. All that being said, my goal is to get cables that will be in the $2-$3 a foot price range, preserve the deep taut bass, and open up the high end spaciousness without adding harshness or fatigue. What would you all recommend?

Thanks in advance,

Chris

For the kind of money that you want to spend, i would keep your 12 gauge cables on the bottom end and look for some type of low inductance design for the top end. I agree with others in that buying used will get you a lot more for your money.

As to the Analysis Plus cables, the Oval 9's would make nice jumper cables for your car. I would not use them for a stereo though. I would rather listen through zip cord. ANY zip cord. Sean

PS... sorry if you find this offensive or upsetting, but that's just my opinion. Take it for what it is worth, which is slightly less than $.02
