Entry-level speaker cables

I've used Type 4 also (and have MANY other AQ bits in my basement "cable museum", including a pair of old reddish cables packed with 16 individually wrapped stranded conductors and thick as a garden hose) and think they're great. I'm into the "solid core everywhere" sound these days and AQ has lots of that to go around so now my rig looks like it's under attack from a bungee cord factory.

I have tried the Canare, Signal Cable, Audioquest and a couple of other entry level speaker cables. All of them have thier own qualities and limitations. You are probably going to get further up the food chain by purchasing used. If you want new my favorites lately have been the Black Cat neo Morpheus, a real bargain.

Another speaker cable I forgot to mention that I own and I think is really great is Signalcable Ultra.

Whatever Bluejeans propose...
There's no need to spend more. Just cover them with techflex and they will look pretty too.

I am using a set of Morrow SP2 for the high frequency run of my bi-wire setup. Make sure and order them "nude" and when you connect them, make sure to have as much of the cable in contact with the binding posts on the amp and speaker as possible.

I will say, these are pretty impressive in the areas of clarity, soundstage, imaging, and quality of vocals and instruments. Just very nice overall.
