Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

The Avantis are keepers and are now worth new super-HQ wire...

...and I've settled on the composition of the new cable for this system. I'll replace the major portions of the amp-to-crossover-board and the board-to-MR-driver and the board-to-tweeter cable.

The amp-to-x-over cable will be an existing piece of trigage Neotec UP-OCC (hereafter 'N.UP-OCC') copper driving the lower-MR section of the x-over which in turn will use the existing half-Audioquest-R88 to drive the lower-MR driver. A new cable made of three sizes (what I call 'trigage) of N.UP-OCC (which I already have), all-silver conductors, to which I'll add a new 22g. silver pair, will run from amp to the MR and treble sections of the board. The MR cable from the board will be new, a combination of 18g. copper and 22g. silver in a twisted quad. The new tweeter cable will be a twisted pair of 23g. silver.

Have just ordered the wire; pics later.

I continue to be surprised and thrilled with the sonic quality of these speakers. And months ago, I thought I might have to sell these as unfinished projects for a grand or so. :-( Not any more; in fact, their value increases a little with each day I listen thru them.
