Speaker Cables

Speaker Cables

Used to connect power (amps, receiver) to speakers. Carry both signal change and power so we must have sufficient conductors. You should consider length and wattage as well as quality of components and specific termination needs (bare, tinned, spades, pins, bananas, etc.).

Level 1 Speaker Cables:

Abundant OFC & OFHC Conductors for low resistance.
Advanced insulations for extended frequency range.
Twisted (non-parallel) conductors for less noise.

Musicable: helps your speakers reproduce the delicate high frequency range with improved OFHC (Oxygen Free High Conductivity) conductors and polypropylene insulation in a quad twist. Tight focus & detailed presentation. IBW (internally bi-wireable cable) (more info)

Level 2 Speaker Cables feature:

Foam hybrid TPR insulation for full non resonant control.
Coated and bare OFHC conductor in bi-wirable groupings.
Helical arrays with non-conductive cores.
Flexible non-marring jackets of soft durable polymer.

Soundstage: eclipses competing cables in this class with an eight conductor helix design that excels in midrange precision and focused highs; both positioned in a 3-D soundstage. IBW (internally bi-wireable cable)(more info)

Octave II: features eight CCT (Compressed Conductor Technology) OFHC copper conductor groupings with advanced foam polypropylene insulation for a significant advance in detail and precision. Compressing each conductor group achieves the best electrical and mechanical attributes of both solid core and stranded technologies. Linearity and consistency with focus, depth and musicality – Octave II is great choice for serious audio enthusiasts and has low enough resistance for long run applications.

Rhapsody S Advanced Helix design uses the same premium materials found in the Rhapsody S interconnect. Ideal for listeners who prefer smooth, extended highs with a warm, but never loose, bass foundation. Rendering of spatial details is accomplished with convincing weight and outstanding dynamic contrast. Rhapsody S is universally compatible with nearly all speakers. Great choice for internal bi-wiring. (more info)
Expressivo: a unique, premium bi-wireable speaker cable. It incorporates Compressed Conductor Technology (CCT) with 4 positive “air suspended” conductors at 15AWG of OFHC Copper (CDA 101), multiple low dielectric insulations are employed to optimize mechanical and electrical performance. This low resistance speaker cable utilizes two opposing spiral shields for the negative conductor path(s) and familiar Straight Wire anti-static micro-fiber braid. The cable is custom jacketed with a durable mesh (various color options at no up-charge) rather than the Straight Wire traditional clear jacket. This is to preserve micro-details of the Expressivo unique “air suspension” design. IBW (more info)	$Description: D:\1-DATA FILES\WEBS\SWIRE\Graphics\Expressivo copy.gif$
Serenade II speaker cable: Advanced Helical design featuring "CCT" (compressed copper technology) conductors and super foamed polypropylene insulation. Serenade delivers an engaging, full soundstage for true "lifelike" performance. You hear all of the details and inflections of the performance totally unrestricted by this low resistance speaker cable. There is no cable in the industry that can touch Serenade's performance attributes at it's price.

Virtuoso H speaker cable featuring a unique cable structure, which incorporates the best aspects of our renowned SYMMETRICAL COAXIAL and ADVANCED HELIX designs. Six stranded conductor groups of heavy Silver Plated OFHC Copper are compressed and helically twisted around a non-conductive core to comprise the positive conductor group. Two Silver Plated OFHC braid shields with a Foam Polypropylene dielectric between them comprise the negative conductor group. The inner helical positive conductors permit effortless dynamics, a full luscious midrange and sound stage realism. The negative braid shields offer symmetrical electromagnetic control for pinpoint high frequency details, tight controlled bass and other mechanical advantages. The Virtuoso "H" speaker cable is our first cable utilizing the unique "SYMMETRICAL HELIX" design. Virtuoso H has been calibrated to match the widest array of reference speakers. Instruments and voices are precisely placed in your room with a level of realism that will make you shiver during dynamic passages. IBW (internally bi-wireable cable)
Crescendo II Straight Wire has introduced a significantly improved version of their highly acclaimed “Crescendo” Speaker Cable. It offers both technical advances starting with the inner core composed of seven equal diameter TPR hollow tubes vs. one large tube. This allows for greater flexibility and retention of roundness. The tubes are dual wrapped to maintain a uniform foundation for the many (12) large conductive groups and fillers. Dual insulation thicknesses (“soft” Foam PTFE and “hard” Foam Polypropylene) were modified to account for the characteristics of the new “inner core”. Conductor group resistance remained the same while compression was modified. Crescendo speaker cable was the first Compressed Conductor Technology (CCT) design produced by Straight Wire. This design combines the best attributes of solid-core and stranded conductor technology. Extreme care was given to the degree of conductor compression and pressure of the Foam Polypropylene insulation. Cosmetically, Crescendo II features a predominately black anti-static fiber with silver highlights under a clear jacket. This change was made in response to requests from many consumers who felt the equal silver/black snake-skin look was too aggressive and stood out in many décor environments due to the large diameter (over 1”) of Crescendo speaker cable. Crescendo II provides mechanical and electrical advancements beyond original Crescendo speaker cable. Lifelike preservation of low level details coupled with unmatched dynamics and detail are easy to discern with this cable. It synergizes reference caliber components to provide captivating performances. . IBW (internally bi-wireable cable) (more info)
*SPECIALTY CABLES* Pro Special speaker cable has the smallest diameter relative to its audiophile, high performance design. Without the advanced fabric braid jacket and coated conductors, Pro Special features the same geometry and overall design of Encore II speaker cable. The result is a performance cable that excels in detail and solid bass foundation - all in a compact, affordable package. B-Flat speaker cable: designed for maximum flexibility with a low profile. B-Flat solves those problem wiring areas as the perfect cable to run across floors, under carpet, around doors and along baseboards and ceilings. With a durable jacket which is easy to paint or glue, B-Flat can become almost invisible in your installation. 14 gauge OFC copper braided conductors provide outstanding performance from this economical flat speaker cable. The off white jacket does not absorb dirt and stains like other competing flat cable made with interior insulation.
