RE: Harbeth Owners: Which Speaker Cables?

Posted by PAR on June 26, 2017 at 15:24:27:

Unfortunately this is the kind of question for which you will not get a really satisfactory answer.

For a start you have given us no idea of the rest of your system, the kind of music that you like, your basic tastes in sound or your budget. What sounds good with Harbeths will also depend upon subjective taste and someone else's subjective taste may not be yours.

Moreover no one out there has tried a pair of Harbeths with every brand and type of cable. All they can know is what they have tried which , to be frank, will generally be limited to a single cable or, at best two types. So you will only get the best of their experience which is likely to be limited. Hence, so far in this thread, you have three responses actually recommending cables with three completely different recommendations. If you get ten responses then you will most likely get ten different recommendations, none of which may actually suit you or your circumstances.

The only thing you can do is try to get some cables on approval and make up your own mind.
