The best speaker cables you’ve had
Anyone found a good speaker cable for Scansonic MB6-B speakers?  
Opinions on speaker upgrade choices
I’ve ordered a pair of Scansonic MB6-B speakers and am now looking for good speaker cables that are a good match. Anyone have any thoughts about this?

Thanks all. Very helpful comments.

I totally agree with Curiousjim — dayglow’s reviews are better than anything I can find in the magazines! I was listening to the Scansonic MB 6B — at $15k I thought it was unbeatable. That was until I listened to the Børresen X3 — it sure sounded...

Thanks, Dayglow — your comments were some of the most helpful I’ve received. I thought you were spot on with comments about the Canton and MA speakers. Good perspectives on the X3 — I was a bit nervous about the “fake” sound myself. Did you liste...

I totally agree with Benzman — the Borresen X3 speakers at $11,000 are one of the best values I’ve ever seen. To my ear, they sounded as good as the $22k Von Schweikerts.    Another value play — the Scansonic MB 6B (by Raidho) for $15k. Their ans...

Thanks, Ron. I’ve added Rockports to my list to audition at AXPONA. I’ve read about them before and they get rave reviews. Thanks again — appreciate your comments on the FR30s too.

I’m not a big horn guy but the SalkSound speakers look very interesting. Have not heard of so I’ll do some checking.  Forgot to add ProAc speakers — they’ve been very good when I’ve auditioned them.

Thanks very much — everyone’s comments are very helpful. My preferences lean to a very detailed sound, with clear highs and deep lows and a large soundstage. I listen to literally all types of music including jazz, classical, male and female voca...

Yes, I’ll check out the Josephs.

Room size is 22’ long X 15 1/2’ wide Interesting thought on the Blades — I’ve always thought they were sweet.

Thanks, Mijostyn, this is very helpful. I know Maggies well; I live in Minneapolis-St Paul where they’re made. I’ve been intrigued with them since I was 18 — just  concerned my room isn’t a good match. Perhaps I should reconsider.  I’m not familia...

Sorry, should have mentioned that. I’d planned to spend $12-15k ($17k if I’ve had a couple of beers with my buddies the night before!)  ideally I’d be able to get a matching center channel from the same manufacturer. That’s in addition to the abo...
