Shunyata speaker cables


Any experience with the Alpha X or Theta speaker cables? How would you describe their sound signature and how do they compare to similarly priced Nordost or Siltech cables? My amp is a Diablo 300 and Magnepan 3.7x speakers.

At that price range, you will be far better off buying them with an understanding you can return them if you don't like them.  Shoveling out $4 digits of money for any cable deserves a return policy.  

Look at this way, you can toss $4,000 worth in $5 dollar bills out the window as you buzz down the freeway and chuckle darkly as you watch the cars pile up trying to catch the money.  Or, you can buy $4,000 worth of brand x cables with no return policy.  

I've been down this path before, big dollar speaker wire that wasn't better than my mid-price speaker wire.  That expensive stuff is still in my speaker cable box, not being used.

@spatialking Thanks. I will definitely not buy any cables without trying them at home in my system.

…….so many better sounding cables than just Shunyata . Said he with experience .

Why wouldn't you use it if you think it is the same quality as your cheaper cable?? What else are you going to do with it?
