I just bought a pair of the Zu druids 2 weeks ago. I have tried them with various cables, the difference in my opinion is very slight. These are the cables i have tried with the druids (kimber 8tc, Zu wax, DIY cat5, monster Z4, clear day silver cables, and MIT AVt3). Most of these cables were borrowed from fellow friends to test out. After testing all these cables i've come to the conclusion their are sonic diffences with each cable but i could live with any of them. I am one who doesn't believe in spending crazy amounts of money on cables, just my opinion. I ended liking the clear day silver cables bought right here on audiogon for $125.
I noticed the main difference in sound is when i tested these speakers out with tube and solid state amps. These are meant to be driven with tubes, i don't care what anyone says. I tried these speakers with an onyx sp3, consonance 300b, dared vp845 on the tube side and parasound, ps audio and monarchy audio on the solid state side. The only one i would recommend for solid state would be the monarchy audio se100 delux mono amps. The tube amps all sounded good. I would test out the speakers with some cables you have handy and then go from there. Like i said, to me speaker cable prices are out of control, to each his own though.
