Best IC and Speaker Cable for DIY
I have tried Canare too. but the performance was not night and day with belden. Looking for several highend cable that can be bought by ft/spool. I will consider Neotech as their upocc is intriguing as well as duelund for its silver foil with silk...

but try excel whenever wanna opt to metal without ringing with still gives you involving and sweet soundyeah it's 4in afterall..i cant go bigger cause dont wanna to rework much on enclosure and my listening space is limited if not small

yes I agree with the ringing of the non paper, but have you tried excels? They certainly dont hv common weakness compared to other nonpaper..hence my search yet on nonpaperAccutons cant go low unless the 6"-7"..even 5"one cant go as low as others ...

@pbb: I reached that conclusion subjectively and dont expect everyone to agree with me but they were too laid back and not quick enough for ribbons tw. Please chip in whats on your mind.

@shadorne: yes I understand what I'm trying to do and I'm willing to pay for it :D I wanna something non-paper, so anything like poly/carbon will do. paper is too laidback of presentation to my likings as non paper will do a clear straight forward...

12Ms are great drivers but it cannot match the quick transient of my ribbon tw. I guues its because of its paper cone. thanks for your input :) anybody else
