interconnects specifically for speaker drivers


I have an active x-over that has seperate channels for the tweeter, midrange and woofers and hence I need 3 pairs of interconnects. In experimenting with different interconnects I can tell there strenghts and weaknesses as I try them on the different drivers. As you can imagine a interconnect that is warm souding is not great on the woofers. What I would like to do is get 3 sets custom made or use a vendor that has a range of models. This way each set can be optimized - highend smooth and silky; midrange lush and rich; lowend tight and accurate. Any advice on the approach for doing this or recommendations on people or manufacturers would be great. Thanks.

Offhand, I know of no company that makes cables specifically for certain frequencies. As Rrog has asked, coherency would be off the table. All companies go for the all-in-one approach. Usually they have different levels of improvement in their lines, which is one way you can go.

Is it necessary to go balanced? I only ask because if you come across an IC that really works for you but is somewhat reticent, say, in the lower mids and bass, you could bi-wire just that one area with the same type wire to see if it helps any.

Set aside some time for trial and error. There are several companies that give you 30 day return offers. Try to ask for wires that are already broken in and order several at the same time from the same and other vendors and be prepared to drive yourself crazy for a weekend or two.

All the best,
