Alpha-Core Goertz speaker cables

My curiosity is tickled by these speaker cables and the idea that low cable inductance is the desired electrical characteristic for speaker cables, after low resistance. I find no discussion of this in the past topics and few systems show these speaker cables. What are your thoughts on this type of cable and its advantages and disadvantages? Any current users of the M1 or M2? I am currently using Wyred 4 Sound Sx-500 monos with short anti-cables and Von Schweikert VR-4JRs. Thanks in advance.

They can have issues. Maxing out one or two of the parameters at the expense of the others is a hairy thing to do.
So yeah it can be nice, but it could make your amp go insane.

I can tell you they are sweet sounding cables with terrific tone and an open quality (on the one system I am familiar with) though a bit lean.

I did not need the supplied zoebel networks with my Plinius amp and Maggie 1.6 speakers you may need them

My favorite 'economy' cable.

though several years since I owned them and cables like Morrow are out there which are also very good.

YMMV of course

I have use Goetz AG-1 center stage for about 10 years now with a variety of equipment. It temporarally gets replaced but somehow I always wind up going back to it. A friend of mine loves his Goetz Micro-Pearl interconnects. I highly recommend the Goetz stuff
