I am looking to create a warm "Brit" sound that is polite yet rises to the occasion with punch when called upon. Maybe a little rounded on the details in favor of musicality and general warmth. (to me warmth is the same as saying slightly dark)
My suspects for good (USED) 5-6 foot speaker cables are:
Analysis Plus Oval 9 Purist Audio Aqueous XLO
What seems to be the best bang for the buck Speaker Cables out there USED in the $300-$500 price range which might promote the kind of sound characteristics I describe??
I'm another one that traded $2000 speaker cables for something much less costly. In my case it was the Grover Huffman cables which cost me about $300 and come with a trial period.
However, I do not believe these cables would fit your criteria of slightly rounded and warm (slightly dark), but they are musical.
I too traded $3000+ sc for Grovers and am much happier. I have found that cables are system dependent, my system doesn't like network boxes. Your probably not going to find Grover Huffman used but new should be close to your price range.
