Recommend Spk cables for Apogee centaur ?


I just purchased a mint pair of Apogee Centaurs and I'm wondering how cables affect this hybrid speaker. Since they've been around a while I'm hoping others will share their experiences.

I started with Quicksilver silver speaker cables and the 4 ohm tap on an original RM-9 re-tubed with KT-88s.

They have that amazing Apogee stage and I love em, but what else should I try ? Or should l just leave well enough alone ?

Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks, Kirk

Hi,
You may want to try some Straightwire Maestro (original) I have never heard the Maestro II. It may be a little warmer sounding than the Quicksilver cables. Also, if your Apogee Centaurs don't have the port on the rear and the suspension kit don't over drive the ribbons. See if someone has the information on the ribbon suspension kit and the port kit. It did make the Apogees more efficient and gave it a little more bass. If when you are playing your Centaurs and you hear a flapping sound or fluttering sound you are taxing the ribbon. You shouldn't have any problems with the woofer regardless.
It's a wonderful speaker and play with positioning them. The sound will make you proud. I want the Centaur Majors but I haven't found a pair close enough to prevent shipping to me. Good luck.
