Speaker cable suggestions......been a while

Posted by NuWave (A) on March 17, 2021 at 14:00:52

I'm running an old set of AQ Type 2 to my Vandy 2CESig2. These are the same cables that were thrown in by the dealer who sold me my 1C over 20 yrs ago. I cut them in half a few years ago and added spades to run them shotgun bi-wire, my amp has nice dual sets of speaker posts. Also added a braided sleeve as the jacket developed some nasty, greasy Vaseline-like coating and I got tired of touching that. Scour it off and get 'em clean but it comes right back after a few weeks.

Is it better to stay bi-wire, shotgun runs, or single runs with jumpers? Saw some decent prices and reviews for the AQ CV-8 and I'd like to stay around that price or less. Didn't realize the cost of good jumpers until I started browsing around :-( What would be a worthwhile improvement from the Type 2?
