Bi-Wire, Tri-Wire or Other???

i am in a simialr boat with the alon II's.

i am hesitant to go with alons black orpheaus speaker cable due to they dont look that great and hard resale value.

current speaker cable is van den hul revalation ( best cable i have found for the alons on top or bottom). i have tried tara master generation, tara prime, ps audio statement, monster 2.4, mit 750 plus s3, az satori, and xlo type 5

btw, the alons are VERY revealing of what is hooked to them and the IV's liked to be tri-wired. here are some suggestions that might work for you.

try a bi-wire for mid & top and a single for bass ( you can also experiment to hear what combo sounds best)

alons black orpheaus - i finally hear it at the ces show in the alon suite ( $100k worth of gear ) and it was pretty awesome.

the new soundstring speaker cable - worked well on alon speakers and rumour has it, they will make the new speaker cables for alon. a bi-wire and a single wire set would work

a set of discovery 1-2-3 or signature biwire and pair of essential - i havent tried this myself- but i have tried the interconnects and they are a good match. also alot of other alon owners have used discovery speaker cables with good results ( and was reviewed in stereophile with discovery)- the factory direct prices are very good.

tara prime on the bottom - great bottom end cable

monster 2.4 biwire and 2.2 - very good cable on the alons. nice imaging and bass- can be a little detailed in the highs ( i was using xlo signature interconnect). monsters only decent cable and well reviewed in audio review and stereophile.

hope that helps,

You may want to audition the Linn K-600. It features 3 color coded twisted pair of 12 awg cables. Many Linn speakers feature 3 separate imputs; low, mid & high or midbass, midbass & high. For the cost($36.00 per meter) it's hard to beat.

The Alon cables are quite good for the cost. They mate well with their speakers....as they should. I tried different cables but never found anything better or enough improvement to justify the cost.

They are also small in diameter and are very flexible.

Good luck!

You might email [email protected] who custom manufactures customer required lengths of speaker cable of the highest performance, yet at a reasonable cost.
One simple way to do this is using three pairs of speaker cables. Then, there is no problem re-arranging for future system changes, or possible future sale of cables. They are so good, I doubt you will be selling in future, but you never know. As a price benchmark, I use eight foot pair listing for $180, and I believe in your case there would be a discount for purchasing a package of speaker cables in the lengths you require. I know he has made runs even longer than those you require.
I have successfully replaced more expensive cables with those made by Gregg, and he is easy to work with.
