Speaker Cable Recommendation


I have the Krell KAV-500 amp and Dynaudio Contour 3.0 speakers. I'd be interested in hearing anybody's opinion on an excellent 3-figure (new or used) set of cables to connect them. I listen to mostly rock/pop, with a fair amount of Jazz thrown in. Also, the next upgrade is going to be for a beefier two-channel Krell amp if that figures into any recommendation somebody might have.

The Analysis Plus Oval 9 would give you more than your money's worth. Many customers and reviewers have proclaimed th performance of this cable, leading edge. If you want to discuss it, you can call me at 973-812-6717. Oliver.. I believe the soundstage review is out tomorrow 6/1.
I agree with Tom,S.T.E.A.L.T.H. cables speaker and interconnects are absolutely a bargain. The silver out performs Kimber KCAG by a wide margain. Background is quieter detail is greater and top end is smooth airy . I have compared these products with the best,and they are as good or better.
I have heard an amazing improvement over Straight Wire and MIT terminator in a couple systems when JPS Superconductors have been tried. Though there are slight differences between used models you can get here in Audiogon. Regards
I've tried Analysis Plus Oval 9 for a while now, and think it's the worst sounding cable I've ever heard. I don't care what the reviews say, they're dead wrong about this one. Kthomas, try the closeout MIT Terminator 2 from Audio Advisor, for only $130 for a 10 foot pair. You'll thank me later. It's beating a $4000 silver cable in my system. I have the KAV-250a, and Paragon Radiant speakers (use Dynaudio drivers), and also Maggie MMG's.
I really support Carl´s advice since I made a recent upgrade to Terminator 2 biwired from Transparent entry level the way he suggests. Excellent cost/performance improvement and beat upper cost options . The effect of speaker cable changes has been far more greater than that of interconnects (haven´t found otherwise yet). Regards
