Speaker cables for Ayre gear with KEF speakers

What are you using now, and what specific improvements are you looking for?  And what’s your budget?

RIP CH a genius engineer with ears

back when I was running his VX-R then VXR - Twenty with Vandersteen 7’s in a high pass configuration I got great results with everything from a shotgun biwire set of Audioquest type 6 to a very sonically pleasing silver LFD Spiroflex. George Cardas builds some fine wire. Rutan at Audio connection in NJ might advise Audioquest in Castle Rock or better if searching used. I would lid advise checking w a few Ayre dealers to get most out of your excellent speakers with a pretty long run of wire

best in music to you

Cardas +1 definitely. I have a QB-9 Twenty on my headphone system.

I'm using cables I bought from a fellow who has since died.  I don't recall the name, but we talked on the phone a number of times.  He used twists of multiple wires with lots of silver in each cable.  I love the sound with them, I biwired them from JC-1 monoblocks that sat next to the speakers.  

After my wife died I moved to a life care community with apartments that are well sound proofed -- concrete walls furred out to wall board, and downsized my audio setup.  I currently use three of the cables pieced together with tape to run from the stereo amp to far speaker and the fourth piece to the near speaker.  It seems a bit kludgy, but sounds good

A very experienced listener and I agreed we preferred the sound of this setup to that of my KEF LS60 with KC92 subs.
