other speaker cable, what to buy

My current speaker is 5meters long. I needed that length previous. However things have changed. Now 2*2m or 2*3m would be more then enough.

The speaker cable I have now is a Wireworld Atlantis 5. I was thinking of replacing it by a NBS dragon/fly. Before the Wireworld I hade Nordost Reddawn is I remember correctly. The nordost cable wasn't what I was looking for. I think they are not neutral but it is hard to explain what they do sound like. To my ears the Wireworld are more neutral.

My set:
VPI Scout
Lyra Dorian
CEC TL51x
Wadia 12
Symponic Line La musica
Impulse Aria SE speakers
Cardas Hexlink 5c interconnects
DAC has a NBS dragon/fly power cable, the rest are standard power cables.

I would prefer cables that are easily available in Europe and don't break the bank, I'm on a tight budget so I will only be looking at 2nd hand.

Supra Ply 3/4 is very inexpensive ($12/ft. here in US) and very good. I find it to be neutral in my system.

if you're happy with what you have, why not just shorten them?

maybe you should try anticable or morrow audio speaker cables.
anticable has 30days return and morrow has 60days return...

I agree with Gmahler2u... give the Morrow Audio SP4 and MA4s a try... break them in (this is a must... you will be very, very happy that you did). Just a happy customer, no affiliation...

I prefer to keep cable at the orginal length. If I shorten them I am afraid the will become worthless if I want to sell them. If I have them professionally shortened I think that the costs wil be considerable. Since my speakers don't have a biwire option shortening them and run them as shotgun is not an option.
