Totem Model 1 Signatures best speaker cables


Well I took the chance that all the posts steered me away from. I bought some Model 1 Signatures and hooked them up to a tube 30 watt integrated and love it. I can't tell you how many posts say you need 100, 200, 300,..... watts to drive them. I almost didn't try it except one Audiogonner can't remember his name said they sounded great with CV tube amps. So I took the plunge and made an offer on a pair of Model one signatures and the offer was accepted I received them (thank you Matthew) and am in awe.... They sound fantastic everything the posts say driving them with a bazillion watts, they sound great with 30 tube amps. So my question is cables I am using Nordost Red Dawn biwired speaker and interconnects and everything is incredible but cymbals they come to forward not really bright just not attached with the drum set they move forward of the set out into the room if that makes sense? So thinking a lot of posts mention Nordost are a little bright so thought of rolling tubes and or changing cables. So what are all the Totem Model 1 Signature users hooked up with cabling? Any tube users EL34 base with 12au7 front what tubes are you using. I can't imagine any improvements to the bass mids they are truely bringing the performance into the living room. Any suggestions or comments? Thank you

Thank you for the feedback. I have tried a few cables and interconnects and moved the speakers all around and just keep going back to the Nordost for the depth and deep sound stage but just not getting the live sound across the range sometimes it is there then the cymbals or drums just don't come out right, I will try to hunt down some Audience cables same for the interconnects? Biwire or jumpers? Anyone else with Totems and cable feedback?
Thank you for the Nordost thoughts moving up the line. Unfortunately I am not near a place to gather a demo kit so I am and have been using the Audiogon for everything. Any other speaker cable ideas? Thank you
hi Johnbonn,i could recommend the coincident cst speaker cable,theres few right now on audiogon,check the prices and if can go with the coincident trs better,coincident has the new extreme line that is very very good if you can go with the new line better,if not start with the cst,even with the cst the difference in sound versus others cables is remarkable,i try them all and is one of my favorites speakers cables. Regards Carlos
Volcom15 thank you for your feedback biwire or straight with jumpers and if with jumpers any suggestions I don't see any biwire sets. Thank you
XTi16, did you manage to audition the SPM Reference speaker cable side by side with the Frey? If you have, how did they compare?

I can attest to Xti16's comments in that one would get greater air and refinement with less brightness in the high frequencies once you move up the Nordost line. I owned Super Flatline Gold, Blue Heaven and SPM Reference. (skipped Solar Wind and Red Dawns in the process)
