Best speaker cable for Acoustic Zen's Adagios

+1 for Hologram II, I contacted the company when I bought mine to see what the recommended match was and Silver Ref II interconnects and Hologram II speaker cables were said to be the best options.

I have been running this way for a couple of years--very happy with the results and not much desire to make changes in the speaker or cable department.

I use all AZ cables in mys system and found them being better than a lot of other cables out there. For my speakers i`m using Satori Shotgun, with great results!

I don't own the Adagios, but I've used shotgun Satoris for years and despite having several competitors in for comparison these never seem to leave. Excellent balance of tonal density, musicality, and detail. If I were you I'd give these a shot or, even better, the Holograms if they're in your budget. If you like what you're hearing from the speakers I can't see why you wouldn't try the designer's cables with them asap. I mean, what cables do you think he voiced them with??? Happy hunting.

Jim, I used all AZ speaker cables, currently Absolute.
Hologram II is better then Satori though Satori is an excellent cable for the price.
I had Creek SE 5350 a few years ago. Very good but not as "lush" and 3D as the best.

Jkuc, Are you currently using the Satori or the Hollogram II?? I should have mentioned in the post that my amp is a Creek SE 5350 Classic integrated amp(85RMS). Though, it could be replaced by separates. The Creek seems to perform way over its sticker price---nevertheless, the Adagios are great speakers.,,, I want to thank all members who have particpated in the discussion so far, Thanks Jim

Robert recommended me sticking with hollowgram2 over the absolute...he said not with the sim gear.He could of sold me on the absolutes(i needed them)...i like that.You can always call and get his expertise,imho.Another worthy upgrade is the outriggers made for adagios.

I used AP Oval 9 and AZ Satori, Hologram II. AZ are better cables, more air, better soundstage, more musical. It will be an excellent match for Adagios. Absolute is even better if you can afford it, it beats many higher priced cables.

Of course go with AZ speaker cables.
The Hollogram II is an excellent option, but if your budget permit it, buy the Absolute. You can find many used here in Audiogon at less than 50% of the price list.

I say again try the hollowgram2 with them....hard to beat.They have it all.

I owned a pair of Adagio's and I agree with you they are amazing. Looking back on it, I wish I had tried Acoustic Zen cables for the simple reason that Acoustic Zen offers you the unique opportunity to match the Adagio's internal wiring with the wire in their speaker cables.
