Vandersteen 2Ce Sig 2's with Alpha Core AG-1 wire

Any Vandersteen owners using Alpha Core AG-1 bi-wire speaker cables with 2Ce Sig 2's? I read the Art Dudley review Stereophile January 2007 on this combo. Dudley thought this cable is a great match. Also considering Audioquest speaker cable(bi-wire)"Gibraltar". I'm running with Quicksilver amps. Any thoughts on what would mate best?

Thanks,

Anyone do a shoot-out between The AG-2 wire vrs the Anti-Cables? Huge price difference between the two. For a four foot Bi-wire pair $670 vrs $90. I have an eight foot bi-wire pair of Anti-Cables on order. How could I resist...

I thought the Alpha-core AG2 was a great match with the 3As - I had been using AQ that was 3rd from the top of the line 7 years ago. I think the VS respond well to the whole Alpha-core line, but I suspect silver is proabably ideal for them with tube amps.

I have a pair of Signature II that I run with
my Jolida JD-502 and run bi-wire MI-2's. The
sound is wonderful. I have 7' runs and it is
not lean at all. The sound is full and open.

Why would you bother with anything else when Anti-Cables is so neutral, transparent, and inexpensive. I'm using it for all my cables after extensive listening tests with as many top shelf cables I could borrow. Only Audioquest Silver (Sky/Everest) are in the same league, but very much more expensive. That is my take on my system. You should audition for your own satisfaction.
