Who makes budget speaker cables which are truly “good” or “exceptional” in quality?
Audio Art makes great speaker cables. You order it direct and can specify different connectors. Here is a tip, the least expensive connectors sound just as good and keep the price down. I use them in an all McIntosh system and are very happy. In my main rig I use Groneberg Quattro Reference speaker cables. You can order these from Klaus at Odyssey. He makes them to order and also uses it in all his higher price products. |
I had Speltz Anticables ($70) for many years and always returned to them after using Crimson, Morrow MA-4 & 5, DNM, even Harmonic Technology Pro 9+ at $1400. The Speltz was always more live sounding and transparent until MG Audio Planus III (at $1495). They were truly transformational in my system. Later on Amadi Maddie Signature had slightly deeper bass and airier highs for even cheaper $600. I now use Cerious Technologies Graphene Extreme with their jumpers. I get even more powerful bass and more dynamics and a fuller sound. They are about $630. The more expensive cables were bought on Agon for about 1/2 price. The Dueland 16 ga. are used by a couple of friends that used to have very expensive cables. The Dueland's are about $120. |
