I made two pairs for bi-amping my speakers using the instructions from http://image99.net/blog/files/category-002ahelix-speaker-cable.html that I found in another thread. I am pleased with the sound quality improvement.
Who makes budget speaker cables which are truly “good” or “exceptional” in quality?
A dealer of mine convinced me into buying Analysis Plus speakers cables that I have enjoyed for a few years now. I noticed some other companies making speaker cables for many multiples of $1k and wondered how many truly good companies are making budget speaker cables nowadays? Who are they? What are the prices? I had Blue Jean speaker cables some years back and thought they were as good as the Analysis Plus brand I have now. What is your brand?

In my limited experience, Kimber 4PR offer a good value for the price. I have been using them since 2001 (first on Vandersteen 1Cs, now on Ohm Walsh 2000s). But I cannot really compare them since it has been so long since I tried anything else. I will also be looking to upgrade at some point. My chief candidates are Kimber 12TC, Morrow (not sure which model yet) and Audioquest (again, not sure of which model). But I am in no rush as the 4PR speaker cables seem to be doing a good job. |
Look up Douglas Connection. www.douglasconnection.com. Talk to Doug who is a Vietnam veteran. He made and supplied all of the cables for my high end sound system. He is very knowledgeable and can provide recommendations for whatever your budget can handle. |
Tried many speaker cables over the years but only in the past twenty years did I begin to take notice that there are differences. Nordost where OK but I moved to Supra after a couple of years which I liked better. However after trying Clear Day that settled it for me I went straight too a purchase of their Double Shotguns ......... never looked back and have no intention to look beyond |
