Speaker Cable Matching.


I now need a double run of speaker cable for bi-amping. I will need to use my Kimber 4VS as a part of the run(s) to start, this is a given. I am considering an additional run of 4VS or instead mixing AudioQuest Type 2 (using the whole wire for the + or - terminal = 4 cables plus the 2 cable run of Kimber) or addding two single runs of AudioQuest Type 4. Will these two cables (manufacturers) work well together, or should I just stick with all Kimber? Also if I mix/match where would I run the Kimber - on the the HF or LF? After the final (for now) relocation of the equipment I now require 18ft runs - ouch! I like the sound of the Kimber 4VS but would not shy away from added warmth. I will wait to experiment with better cable until I can reduce the length of the runs.

Dekay, use cables from same company for bi-wire of speakers, don't mix and match. You can for instance use one run of 4TC and one run of 8TC to save money. I had kimber 8TC in the past, but have moved on . You may like MIT T2, smooth and good 3D capabilities for the money, the treble is different from other cables, some will like it others will think it is too recessed, a matter of taste. In your price range don't overlook Analysis Plus Oval 12 speaker cable from Audio Advisor......I use double runs of AP Oval 9 in my main system
