Speaker Cable Suggestion

I've had quite a number of ic's and spkr. cable in my system over the years.
The cabling I'm using now which I really like is Gregg Straley's Reality Cables.
They provide a good, balanced presentation across the audio spectrum.
They don't veil the sound, roll off the highs or over emphasize any portion of the musical presentation-and believe me, there's a lot of "well known" cables out there that do just that.
Reviews here on Agon and there's a home audition available.
Good Luck!

Can't speak to the Golden Cross (can't afford it either for that matter), but the Cardas Cross single-wire was a bad match in my system. System being Musical Fidelity A5 separates, Jolida cd player, Monitor Audio Gold Ref 20's. I'm using Harmonic Technology Fantasy bi-wire right now and have been quite content with it but will probably audition other possibilities sometime down the road. A JPS Digital power cord made for a surprisingly nice improvement in sound for the Jolida. Definitely a keeper. Interconnects/pcs are a fun experiment-in-progress mix of HT and JPS.

Audience AU24's are the best cable I've tried in my system, they have bested Alpha Core M-2 (very good), 8TC, Kimber monocle X and XL, Nirvana SL (very good), MIT 750 Shotgun, MIT Magnum M2.

I have heard others having issues with bass but with Thiels this is not an issue for me. They are the most balanced among the brands I've tried in my system, I can't find a flaw.

Save yourself some time and money. Get the audio metallurgy
gold reference speaker cables and ga-0 interconnects (just reviewed in stereotimes)they're probably the most neutral cables out there. I auditioned them in my system side by side against the cardas golden reference cables and they smoked the cardas as well as harmonic technology magic ones and synergistic research resolution reference.5's

Eee3, Synergistic Research resolution reference.5??? That is old technology. Synergistic has improved significantly since then. Their new line of Tesla cables are new technology. They have a Tesla challenge against any other cable. Borrow from The Cable Company and see for yourself. I did and now prefer Synergistic Research over any other cable.
