Cables for Merlin VSM-MXe speakers


Hi guys,

Ordered new MXe's and wondered about speaker cable.

Currently have Synergistic Research Signature no.1 (old!) and wondered about new cable.

I know Audience AU24 is recommended but what else is good?

Regards

Can't speak for MXe, but I have the VSM-Ms and use Luminous Synchestra Signatures. I couldn't afford to get up to the Cardas line to the recommended Golden Reference or even the Golden Cross (because I need 12' runs). I did have Cardas Cross, however, and the Luminous beat it in my system with a Primaluna Four amp and Mapletree Audio Ultra tube preamp. Cables are very system dependent (isn't everything) but I find the Luminous to be a good cable and a good value. Qutie musical.
Just as a side note to the TG Audio suggestion, and since I recommended Luminous cables, Bob Crump would get his wire from Luminous, at least for a time. Luminous and Mr. Crump had a close relationship. I once asked Luminous why they didn't make power cords and was told that it was because they felt that Bob got it "right"; they could never improve on what Bob had done so there was never any reason to do it. Not sure I can articulate why, but I thought that was interesting.
