Synergistic Designers Reference


Hi Folks:

Several years ago at the last NY audio show, I heard a demo of these cables with active shielding. With or without the shielding installed, the cables sounded phenomenal. One of the best I have ever heard. The others on my short list of speaker cable would be Kimber Select and Monocle, Kubala Sosna Emotion, Cardas Neutral Reference and my current cable the H.T. Pro 11+.

Can anyone compare or contrast the above?

Is the Synergistic only at it's best when you are also using the same series of interconnects?

What is the successor to that series and does the Designers Reference cable offer good pre-owned value as far as reference quality is concerned?

Thanks for your help.

I agree that used S R cables are a great bargain. I bought 12' S R Resolution Reference FX oh, about five years ago now (new). They were in the $1400 range then, so buying
them used would make them, or the Designers Reference, and Absolute Reference very good cables to get used. I haven't given a thought to speeaker cables since. I do use S R IC's and power cords in critical areas of my system, and as the rest of my system has evolved, the cables have been a constant, and not an area of concern.

Good luck,
Dan

Hi Mjglo,

I own Designers's reference speakers bi-wire, RCA digital and XLR interconnects.

What improvement did you get with APEX?

Thank you,

Ulysse21.
