Devore Super 8 speakers with WHAT cable?

No Ed, I don't run them with Devore's. They are just superb cables for the range you gave. I think Gregg at Reality offers a demo as well, so no harm no foul if you don't like them, do a search, many many happy customers.

Alpha Core Goertz MI-2 Veracity. A little over your budget for an 8' pair but well worth the extra $50 or so. 30 day trial available.

"The Auditorium 23 are $880 for an 8 foot pair." ... not true. There is a 2.5m pair currently posted for sale on Agon for $450.00 OBO.

Regardless of all our suggestions, it would be wise to demo before buying if possible.

Are you trying to change some characteristic from what you are hearing now?

bjesien, not hearing anything with the devores yet, as they have not arrived. So I am doing research to short list cables to compare to my current anti-cables. I may not be trying to reach the "ultimate" sound but without comparing to other cables I cannot see what the devores are capable of. Or the cables for that matter.

Gregg Straley Reality cables seems the most interesting to me at this point. and they have a trial period. I am even considering the Walmart DIY cable (a.k.a 6moons WLM) just for fun (@ about $12)!

I appreciate the ideas posted above.

thanks,
