I need some advice according to how much i'v already spent on my system;
Cambridge Audio 640A Amp, 640C CD player, QUAD 11L loudspeakers, CHORD crimson interconnects for amp/cd. (all up has cost about $2100)
I havn't bought speaker cable yet though, im using some no brand crap atm which frustrates me. In the shop i bought my setup from they are using exactly the same setup but using nordost (not sure what model) $35 a meter, single wired, they sounded great like this. However i want to bi-wire preferably but i need about 16meters which will cost me more than i want to pay for cable with nordost. So my option is bi-wire Kimber 4PR (recommended by the salesman) which will cost about $180 roughly or i can single wire nordost (8m) which will cost about $280. Im happy to pay about $280 for cable, but i think bi-wire is also good, so i dont know what to do??
Im also tossing up whether to use banana connects, i do believe bare connection is better quality, but the posts for the amp and speakers are sooo fiddly esp the amp, i think if i bare wire ill still lose 10% due it being so difficult to effectively wire them. So although im told you lose 10% quality in banana connects atleast i wont have to strip back the wire every year and its easy to plug em in.
Comments greatly appreciated.
