Audioquest Oak speaker and Sky interconnects


Hi, anyone know the Audioquest Oak?

I own the Gibraltar and I'm thinking of an upgrade.

Can I get a thicker sound?

I also have the Sky XLR in my system (B&W 803D, Luxman l-509u integrated amp, Luxman D06 SACD player, Oyaide Tunami GPX-R power cords) but it's slightly aggressive on the mid-highs, I am considering returning to Colorado RCA, I already had before.

Should I switch to the Cardas Golden Reference interconnects (XLR or RCA?) and speaker cable (a single biwired or two monowired pairs?) instead of Aq's, for a thicker and musical sound but still neutral?

Demoed the gibraltar and really liked it, bought the Oak and it is much better. Wider soundstage, better sense of space, more resolving, very musical, etc.. I have it matched with colorado xlrs. I would think it would pair well with the skys. Ed from USA
Biggy79, I think that the oaks have the same tonality and neutrality as the gibraltars. With the oaks it seems as the presentation has a greater sense of depth and width which makes suttle details more noticable. I don't think there is more or less of anything with either cable. Ed
