I've never used the Kimber, but am very impressed with Morrow SP2 with bare wire termination. Morrow is always having some kind of sale going on. Get on his email list.
Entry Level Cables
Hello!
I'm currently in the process of upgrading my system a little bit at a time. Right now I'm using a Onkyo SR606 with some basic terrible speakers. I added the Onkyo for xmas and now I'm ready to upgrade my mains. I don't have much of a budget, so right now I've been looking at Paradigm's Titans or possibly a good deal on Paradigm's Reference Studio 20. Assuming I purchase the 20, what would be a good, entry level cable to run?
I've heard that I can't go wrong with Kimber's 8TCs, but they are just a bit beyond my currently target range of $100-$200 total to wire both speakers. Since I'm new, I most certainly don't want to make any terrible mistakes and skimp on the cabling and make my speakers essentially worthless. On the other hand, $400-$500 for cables is just too much for me right now.
Thanks for the input!

Why not go with some CAT5 DIY speaker cables? I made up a pair of 20' cables a couple of months ago and am very pleased with the results. Regards, Todd Gomer Cable |
SR Alpha Quad x2 active (preowned) is a good choice right off for music and movies. Audio Art does a real good job with their stuff. The Canare 4S11 is not a bad choice either to begin with... I use it in my HT for center & rears. terminated or bare. Single or biwired, your choice as it has four separate conductors. For the $$$ these are pretty decent wires. |
