I used Crescendo speaker cables (the ones that looked like an anaconda) for years and thought them to be superb. Actually auditioned the much more expensive Transparent Audio Reference XL vs the Crescendos in my system and sent the TAs back.
Used Maestro cables before the Crescendos and thought them good enough to keep them around for a rainy day. Jim Thiel recommended these back in the day with Thiels.
Crescendo had a more powerful and full bass as well as a more refined upper region to my ears.
I agree that it is hard to understand why Straightwire lost their presence in the audiophile marketplace in recent years. Didn’t it have something to do with a relationship with WireWorld?
