Welcome. Really depends on what specific improvements you’re looking for and what sound characteristics are most important to you, otherwise ipthis is kinda like shooting in the dark. What’s your budget, and are you looking for new or used?
Advice on speaker cables.
Hello. First time post here and I understand there’s no definitive answer, just looking for advice. I have a midrange system to me anyway and most of it was purchased new recently after giving up on repair of vintage gear. I’ve been using the same 12 gauge Apature copper speaker wire since 1982 and figured I would upgrade. I didn’t realize the hole I was going down. I’ve tried Blue Jean 10 white sounded dull, as well as WBC 7 gauge which I somewhat liked except bass seemed boomy at the expense of treble and midrange. Cables I’ve been advised to try are Kimber 4pr or 8pr as well as Audio Analysis oval 12. I’ve only used bare wire in the past not sure if that matters. My system is Yamaha as1200, Cxn100 streamer, Rotel 1572 mkii cd, Nakamichi oms1a cd. Speakers are Polk monitor 10a I bought new in 1982 with recently upgraded clarity cap crossovers. All interconnects are WBC. Appreciate any advice on speaker cables. Thank you.

Thanks for all the response. Budget is in the $400 range, I should add I need close to 12ft on one side and figured I should keep them equal. I was looking into Tellurium Black 2 but the return window was short and had a restocking fee. Thanks again for all the advice. |
