RE: Speaker Cables - Which to Buy?

Posted by cawson@onetel.com on March 20, 2017 at 08:53:12:
Thanks very much for your reply. When I bought my Unos with 225 subs, I had them wired by Avantgarde with silver wiring both inside the cabinets and for the jumpers. I've never thought these as particularly good, so your suggestion for change is welcome.

I was thinking of using Chord Odyssey cable which is high purity copper silver coated, but maybe Kimber is better. Was it a simple job to change the wiring? I've never taken the back covers off the tubes or the drivers out of the subs. I presume this has to be done. Also, I'm thinking of gloss spraying the horns and rear caps with an automotive paint. I guess these polycarbonate parts can be removed at the same time with little extra effort.

What cables do you use (or would recommend) between the amp and the speaker? I'm using Chord Odyssey but I know it should be upgraded.

I didn't know the 230 sub was available with the Duo. Does the 230 use bigger drivers than the 225's twin 10" ones and is the cabinet wider than the 225's 300 mm? Thanks. Peter
