Straightwire speaker cable Crescendo vs Crescendo II


Hi all,

Looking for some info on the difference in sound between the Straightwire Crescendo (original version) and Crescendo II speaker cables.

Appreciate any info. Thanks.

The difference in Maestro versus Maestro II is in the dielectric according to SW - you might want to confirm with SW regarding the Crescendo but I suspect it is the same.  SW still makes good and underrated cables.

ramesh23
are these newer cables or older models?

I listened to some SW cables around 2012, red jacketed, lower models in the chain. Anyway, these cables sounded very good and were relatively
inexpensive.
hi guys,

thanks for your response.

these are slightly older level 4 models. the crescendo II was recently replaced by the crescendo III.

thanks.
