Because of a thread on another forum where our very own ThomasW recommended DH Labs Silver Sonic T-14 speaker wire I decided to order a bi-wire set. Not until the cables were on their way did I find that DH Labs "just" introduced their Q-10 cables. See this link for details of the cable:http://www.silversonic.com/docs/press/Q-10-12000.htm
I called up DH Labs and asked if I could return the T-14 bi-wires and get a pair of Q-10s in bi-wire configuration. They were very happy to do the exchange and charge me the difference for the Q-10s.
Anyway, enough background, I just installed the cables and am very pleased with their performance. My AT1505 seems to have better control of the woofers in my B&W 802s and the highs are just great.
Now I don't know if there really is a difference from the 12AWG Carrol OFC cable that I replaced other than increasing to a 10AWG OFC silver plated cable without any real blind testing but it seems to be better. If it is the placebo effect I think that it worked very well and I'm happy. If you are thinking of getting some special speaker wire, take a look at the Silver Sonic Q-10s. The are pretty inexpensive in terms of what you can spend, look good with their single dark green heavy body and sound (or make me think that they do) GREAT!
