Is Goertz still the choice for Magnepan?

I was inspired by the thread "Goertz still the choice with Vandersteen" and decided to start this one. In the past, it seemed that Goertz speaker cables were pretty popular with Maggies. Is that still the case? Has anyone gone from Goertz to something else with their Maggies and not regret it? What other moderately priced cables should today's Magnepan owners consider?

I have used a pair of 10' Kimber 8TCs for years on 2 different pairs of Maggies, MMGs and 1.7s. I am very happy with the sound of my system. My amp is a Mac MC275 version V.

Best, Fred

used Goetz M2 for a few years on my 3.6's but found Auditorium 23 is much better for speaker cable

I find old Cardas cables work best for Maggies.

Warm midrange, 3D imaging, details come through.

Long break in time is a draw back.

George Cardas used Maggies as his reference back then.

Golden Cross is best, but expensive.

Quadlink 5C gives the best bang for buck, with Cardas sound.

Solid core copper works great as well.
