GMA Europa owners....

Jb3,

I found the cables to be very linear with excellent extension on both ends. Utmost clarity with a very deep soundstage, very detailed and dead quiet. Natural timbres with no harshness.

One example, Eva Cassidy "Live at Blues Alley", some of the songs you can clearly hear people talking in the far background and you an hear dishes rattling, either being picked up by the waiter/waitress or from the kitchen.

Quite honestly, I have them up for sale and I am not sure I want to sell them. Kinda glad I have only had tire kickers so far..

Regards,

Oh,

I have only had two other speaker cables in my system, AP Oval 12 (OK cables) and Blue Circle BC92 cables (very good cables). Excaliburs were MUCH better, in my system anyway. They provided much more of everything, except maybe bass when compared to the Blue Circle's.

Regards,

Eric,
Thanks, thats good info. Upgrading to AM IC's is at the top of my upgrade list, but the Sorcerer's are just not in the budget. I'll definitely look into the Excaliber II's.

Freaky,
As far as integrateds go, Roy highly recommended the Blue Circle offering. As far as SS gear goes he prefers Blue Circle and Edge (big $$) from what he has told me. But on the budget side of integrateds he said that some late 70's Onkyo and Harmon Kardon products were surprisingly good.

As for my cables, I use the Ridge Street Midnight Silver Ed. II's with the Europa's. SC, IC's and digital , all Ridge. Brings out beautiful details and a nice balanced sound. Amp and preamp : Krell KSA-100 mkII and Audio Research SP-9 mkII.Before getting RSA cables, I used Zu Wax SC's with Zu Warmouth IC's.Before them , AudioQuest cables. Best so far has been the Ridge Street's, and they work well with my other speakers I have here, Mirage M-3's and Von Schweikert's VR-1's. Worth checking them out-got me dance'in !!!! ( and that's no B/S !!)

I just replaced my Signal IC's with Audio Magic Excalibur 11 IC's. Far more transparent high end, better staging and more depth. Simply a huge improvement.
They work great with the Europas.
