Any 2-4mm squared pure copper cable should be good enough for @good_enough 😉

Hello,
Recently acquired a pair B&W 705 Signature speakers (in fabulous datuk finish) and the Rotel RA-1592MKII integrated amplifier.
Now i am looking for speakercables ( bi-wire or full-range with jumper) that would bring the most out of them.
I am thinking about : or ??

Thanks for any advice you can give me

Fwiw, our current store system partly consists of a pair of Michi M8's and a pair of Acoustic Energy AE520's. Speaker cables are basic 500 strand full range btw. If these cables are also good enough for Rotel's best amplification to date then they will be more than good enough for the RA-1592 MK and 705 Signature's.

Mission 751s with QED XT. Think they were about £40 for a 3m pair (discounted stock, so you'd pay more for those normally). They were pre-terminated which saved me a job.

Classic.

Fwiw I went with qed 79 strand to hide in the walls with my current setup. I’ve got some old chord rumour kicking around that’s too short but I can’t really tell the difference.

Human hearing is really not all that great.

Why do you believe that? Our hearing is an extremely complex thing, and I feel the capabilities of our hearing is massively underplayed by those that would have you believe it is.

Qed silver anniversary xt + silver micro does and micro lacks bass it's thin sounding as i remember

I've never been a fan of QED cables.

It's all about personal opinion. Personally, I'm not keen on huge strand counts, based on my personal experiences.

I never said hearing wasn’t complex. Compared to other mammals, our hearing range & sensitivity is pretty poor. That’s just a physiological fact. We cannot hear the frequencies we cannot hear.

Beyond that, how our brains process data makes humans unreliable witnesses. aka psychoacoustics (as you mentioned already: people who want to hear a difference will hear a difference).

How do you mean that hearing is underplayed- who is doing it, and to what end?
