Speaker cable for Kef XQ30

[Jon Smith]

Recently upgraded to some Kef XQ30s and want to upgrade my speaker cable to match.

The Kefs have a reputation for being bright, they sound OK to my ears but I don't want to make them any brighter. What sort of cable should I be looking at?

From googling around the Chord Odyssey and the NVA LS3 are highly recommended, but would they be a good match? Does anyone have experience of these speakers and which cables would you recommend,

[i'm currently using Van Damme 2.5mm so will compare the newer cables to these and see if it's worth the upgrade]

We've used Chord Odyssey in our demo room whenever we've demo'd the XQ series. Works well 🙂

Thanks Frank... I may just go with the odyssey then 🙂

Is there any benefit in biwiring, or just as good to get the odyssey 2?

 

[CnoEvil]

If the money that would have been spent on biwiring, is put to better cable, the end result is usually superior

 

[Frank Harvey]

I'd usually just recommend single wiring. As CnoEvil has mentioned, I'd normally recommend single wiring with better cable than bi-wiring with lesser cable.

totally agree here. seeing as though biwiring costs double the amount , u can get a much higher quality cable singled wired for the same/little bit more £
