Hi,
I have the same question as Oz since I am trying out a 12 ft pair of Solo Crystal Oval 8 bi-wires to Magnepans. Very musical cables, good micro detail, smooth, dynamic, but is this "old folks wire":)?
My main complaint is that they are way too pleasant. A piano concerto I listen to is very dull with the A+, and certain instrument fundementals that are very noticable on other wires are almost MIA on the A+. Granted, my favorite cello concerto is as good as I've ever heard, the midrange is a thing of beauty.
I am curious as to what changes sonically occur from hour 1 to hour 75 of break-in? Do the A+ cables ever perk up?
Do the A+ IC's counter/match with the speaker cable to produce a more neutral sound that is less dull, or does one just have to make some sacrifices for the many virtues of the A+ Oval 8?
