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.

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

"That expensive stuff is still in my speaker cable box, not being used."

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?

I owned Magenpans (3.6R) for about 10 years and found that Shunyata speaker cables were a very good match for them.  Back then it was the original Alpha and I was using a McCormack DNA500 amp.  The X series should be even better.  Contact the Cable Company and arrange for a borrow and try them!

@jwpstayman Thanks, did you by chance compare them to any other cables? Would you describe them as warm, bright, lean, neutral or…..?

I’m in Sweden so unfortunately I can’t use the Cable Company’s excellent lending library.
