Audience Au24 with high current SS amps....

..is anyone using the Au24 speaker cables with high current SS amps? I had good results with these cables with my tube amp, but with two different SS amps of relatively high current I have blown two ribbon tweeters in magnepans. And yes, it was the tweeter in either speaker, not the same one twice. I heard some rumblings that the capacitance of these cables might not be the best match for my application. I cannot find any figures on the Audience website about the inductance or capacitance of their cables. Any thoughts?

I used AU-24s to drive Legacy Whispers from a McCormack DNA-500 without any problems. Lots of current, 900wpc into 4 ohms. My Whispers are pretty highly efficient (95 according to website) and never had any issues, regardless of volume.

Doesn't sound like your problem is the Au24s, but in your setup, as others have suggested. Good luck.
