What speaker cables work well with Nordost Valhall
As the last poster stated, the Valhallas are light in the lower mids. The highs are clear but a little hard, IMO.The Paragons have better body and foundation. They present music authentically as I can attest to since I attend many concerts.

Brainwater: Were your Paragons the newer "enhanced" version"? Pure Note went to a ribbon wire in this version for higher accuracy. I have owned the originals which were a bit lean and dry. Compared to the Valhalla, the Enhanced Paragon has much mo...

IMO, the Valhalla is a dated product. Nordost is working on a replacement. If you want to save many dollars and get better than Valhalla performance consider Pure Note

Audience AU24, are they good?
IME, AU24's and Pure Note Paragons are top cables in my system especially for the money. YMMV.
