Avalon Eidolon matching speaker cables and IC


Hi,

I have an pair of Avalon Eidolon, and i will buy new cables for them. As amp i use Class D monoblock, Hypex Ncore 400.

What cables are matching good on Eidolon´s, i somewhere read they recommend Cardas, what models? And I also looking for Audioquest and Nordost - Anyone tested any models from Cardas, Audioquest or Nordost on Eidolon or other Avalon model, compared any models from these companys on Avalon speakers? I have no shop nearby so i can´t test by myself on my speakers so i have to buy something i think will be good.

I have Eidolons in my main system using a Cardas Golden Reference loom and a pair of Avalon two way studio Monitors which are powered by nCore 400s using NuForce ICs and speaker cables.

Solid or coated silver cables have been problematic with every switching amplifier I've owned. I've found that switching amplifiers like 20 amp service and beefy copper power and speaker cables.

The combination of the nCores and the Monitors provides a remarkably transparently resolving presentation thats very clinical. Perfect for a small home recording studio playback but not for casual long haul listening. I've got tube amplifiers driving the Eidolons with Velodyne subs dealing with the extra low frequencies.
