Yes vdh cs122 is the standard wire. given that diapason use clip on terminations rather then solder the wire directly to the drivers, it's quite easy to buy a spare set of clips from them and make some different wires to try out. i'm really quite stoked up about the idea of making some using the condutors from a nordost shiva power cord however that's going to be a bit more expensive than say the jena labs wire. it may also be worthwhile grounding the driver basket. to my mind the absence of a crossover filter is a key element towards making these speakers sound so good, however i guess they must also be doing a lot of other things right. their stunning good looks are an added bonus and there was a palpable sigh of relief from my wife when i got these..........
