Please Help Me Choose a Speaker Cable

Well... I must admit... the AQ CV-8 speaker cables are pretty impressive. Just received them and hooked them up to compare to my Anti-Cables 3.2 speaker cables. Premature first impressions: Great soundstage and imaging, very airy - maybe a bit bet...

OK... Ordered a pair of the AQ CV-8's, also. Will try and compare them to my Anti-Cables 3.1’s and let you know how they compare. We’ll see.And... I did discover you just replace the batteries, when they die.

Yes... Unless your speakers are very efficient (e.g. say 94db+) you will most likely want to get a set of Autoformers from Anti-cables to boost the impedence of your speakers to reduce the load on the M60's.http://anticables.com/autoformers
