With these wonderful Dalis, what speaker cables would you suggest? My current set are Atlas Equator.
Won't be purchasing immediately, but any ideas would be appreciated.

Nothing wrong with the Atlas... in isolation that is. Sounds excellent but am I missing out by not trying more expensive wires. I really don't know.I would ask as to why you feel the Atlas cables need replacing?
Totally understand. I'm one of the biggest naysayers when it comes to cables, however all the cables I've heard and owned have been in a similar price bracket. Never had a reason to go beyond a certain price point.Do a level matched double blind test and you will find NO difference between good 2,5mm sq. cable and the cables mentioned. (This is all professional Video and Music Production studios use)
If however you still believe cables make a difference to the sound (Even though it has been proven time and time again that they don’t) then just buy what you believe sounds right to you.

I really am fastidious (even boring) when it comes to matching individual components together. That won't change, hence why I'm curious about speaker cables.without sounding facetious, you need to match whatever is in your speakers/amp. Klipsch for example in there latest heritage line use audio quest cable, Sugden use silver cables in there amps same as audio note.
If its cheap run of mill copper then that’s all I’d buy. 79 strand or similar, No thick or exotic cables will make any difference If the last 20cm from the internal cross over to woofer is a completely different material or gauge.
There just my thoughts take or leave them for what they are, a random guy on the net.
In my run of mill system I’ve heard nothing better than simple copper cables. Like linn k20 or qed 79/original.
Nothing wrong with the dealers, they know enough and are nice generally.cable dealers are a different proposition altogether.
Not alluding to hi-fi dealers, Dom, they're generally good eggs, it's the online shops who only sell cables and foo-science in the cable blurb. I could have paid extra for 2 levels of pre-burn-in on my speaker cablesNothing wrong with the dealers, they know enough and are nice generally.
Fair enough WayneKerr, there just trying to make people happy.Not alluding to hi-fi dealers, Dom, they're generally good eggs, it's the online shops who only sell cables and foo-science in the cable blurb. I could have paid extra for 2 levels of pre-burn-in on my speaker cables
If you can find someone who will lend you a pair of high price cables and see what you think....Totally understand.

Sorry to hear that.I felt I was placed in an untenable position by my employer.
