OP - I too am running Totem Forest Signatures and using Audio Envy's SP14 ribbon speaker cables made with OCC copper and an active ground. Good luck in your search.

Speaker cables with good timbre
As the title says, i would like to hear recommendations on a pair of speaker cables, copper, that have a very good midrange, imaging and truth of timbre or faithful reproduction of instrument sound. As i get older i started to realize i value those characteristics the most when i listen to recorded music. Thank you in advance.

@mglik , didn't you just start a thread about needing hearing aids? And yet here you are....Silversmith Feefeelium, 6k cables, cable 'timbre' n all...

Lots of arguing here, I'm staying out of all that. But have been happy with a few of the Veritas Cables I've picked up over the past few months. Relatively sane prices compared to the big name brands, excellent construction, appearance, and top caliber service too. I do use Signal Cable in a small bedroom setup I have. Those are very affordable and I would recommend them to anyone who "believes" in cables but doesn't want to spend much. |
I don’t know if your posted system is up to date, but if the higher level Morrow and Argento cables aren’t giving you what you want, what you are seeking is probably elsewhere in your system. I’ve owned the Forests and I think they are great speakers. But maybe try a pair of Harbeth SHL-5s. They have a very realistic sound on vocals and acoustic instruments. If you are insistent on cables, try Purist. I’ve owned the Poseidon speaker cables. Very natural sound. Only trouble for me is that they were very heavy and hard to put behind the rack. But the totems have low binding posts so it should be less of a problem. Good luck. Just one more thing- as Columbo says- are you sure your Argentos are genuine? I’ve heard the ICs and they were very natural sounding. Great cables. Too expensive for me, but great. |
