from Kennedy HiFi. Markha Summary:
I finally broke down and spent some money on some decent speaker wires. Even though I was always telling anyone interested that wires make a noticable difference, I always had a hard time putting my money where my mouth was.
Anyway, let me tell you that it was worth every penny. Compared to the lamp wire that I was using before these Audioquest type 6+'s sounded amazing! It was as if I had upgraded my CD player or connected it to a high end outboard DAC.
The sound was so much more refined and sweet sounding that I was instantly convinced I had made the right choice.
I heard basslines I had never noticed before on Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams" and there was so much more detail that I hadn't heard before on this system.
These wires are ideal for toning down agressive systems or bright tweeters as they leave you with a more subtle soundind presentation. The bass is a strong point though so be careful when matching these wires with a bass strong system as it may become a little too much. Otherwise these wires are excellent for the money.
I Bi-wired them to my Paradigm monitor 7 v3 speakers, NAD320BEE amp, NAD540 cd player and NAD422 tuner. (This is my bedroom system.). Strengths:
Refined,detailed, sweet and not agressive sounding. These wires really reveal bass (drums and guitar) like no other.
Nice build quality.
Good imaging and sound-staging for the money. Weaknesses:
I would be careful with these wires if your system is already bass heavy.
Otherwise these wires are excellent.
A little unflexible in tight corners. Similar Products Used:
Audioquest Slate's which I purchased after the Type 6's as I was so impressed and have read good reviews about the Slate's.
Slate's connected to: B&W 603S2, 601S2, CC6 center, NAD761 receiver, Toshiba DVD player, NAD540 cd player doing double duty upstairs and down and IXOS and Audioquest interconnects. (No more lamp wire.)
