Vandersteen and NOT BI WIRE---Your thoughts

I have the Quatro's---powered by CJ ET 250 S and ET 5 Pre--in spite of the advice from many, I find that speakers simply sound cleaner with high end speaker wire, and bridging to the bass. I'd love to hear the thoughts of others. My current set up sounds clean and clear in the mid---no muddiness--in between with the bass--generally better sound. (previous bi wire was Audio Comets) And I'm really liking it. Would welcome all input as I'm searching for the best speaker wire that would bring out the best in these speakers-- pro or con and advice related to bringing system to "next level"--thanks--

Unfortunately, Audioquest Slate doesn't seem to be available anymore. Is there an equivalent? Also Audio Advisor doesn't see to offer barrier spades as an option anymore. Bummer; it was a really good deal.

I'm using Audioquest Slate in a bi-wire configuration, with small spades on the speaker ends (terminated by Audio Advisor). The Audioquest has the runs in the same jacket, but the quad configuration should ensure that there is little magnetic interaction between the runs. Sounds great to me.

I remember not being ultimately convinced by the 803D in the showroom. The tweeter called too much attention to itself. I wonder what tube amplification would have done for it.

But with the 802D and up you're in a whole different ballpark, I think.

Oh, that's embarassing, how did that post get there. Please ignore it, I can't delete it.
