Warm copper speaker cables under $500 new


Recent cable experiments have demonstrated two things to me:

1) I like copper better.
2) Unfortunately, while the economy brands are very good, it is possible to do better.

I am now in the market for something that will be warm - not bright in the least - and full, yet detailed. And I do seem to favor solid-core wire (single or more than one, individually wrapped) to stranded.

Any suggestions?

I'm also a fan of Alpha Core. I use their MI cables in one of my rigs, their AG cables in another rig. Each has perfect synergy in it's rig.
Purist Audio Design Museus 2.5m speaker cable for about $500 NEW. These are warm sounding cables, very black background. No grain. Good stuff
Hi Paul,

Try the Analysis Plus BLack Ovals. I'm a fan of copper too and I've switched to all AP in my system.

PS. I'm still thinking about your 938's :)
I've been very happy with my Pear Comice speaker cables. I think you can pick up a pair on auction for a decent price that is well under your budget.
