At the risk of wearing out my welcome on this recommendation, I'm going to once again propose Stu Wein's (Audioparts) MAS Hybrid speaker cables. You can come in under budget, and he offers a 30 day money back guarantee. I'm using them in a system consisting of Von Schweikert VR4 SE speakers, VAC Phi 110/110 amp, First Sound Presence Deluxe II preamp, EMC 1-UP CD player and Acoustic Zen Matrix and Silver Reference interconnects. Do yourself a favor and try them. What've you got to lose?
To Tvad&Sbank,good news,I will contact those people/places as I have 8 weeks to get things started and I like the idea of changing/trying till that ship comes in....thank you,Bob
Bob, since you're going to try both MAS Hybrid and SignalCable speaker cables, please report back on the audition. It will be valuable info for other members of Audiogon.
Another low price/high performance speaker cable is the $180 eight foot pair from Audiogon member, Greggstraley, which replaced my already excellent value Alpha Core Goertz MI-3, and AG-1 speaker cables.
Currently use with ribbon tweeter/transmission line bass Clements Rt-7, driven by either Aronov LS960I, or Cary SLA70Sig tube amp. When paired with dynamic speakers from Duntech, Spendor, and Platinum Audio, these cables always sound natural, detailed, and full range.
The bargain price of a direct seller gives no hint just how superb is the performance, and the money back trial offer eliminates buyer remorse.
I am using TG Audio power and speaker cables, and Luminous Audio Synchestra Reference i/c's with excellent results on my TSM-M's.
