Signature Series BI-WIRE Speaker Cables
The final leg of my system, all connected now with cables from SRA, comprises 4 meters of Signature Series Bi-Wire speaker cables, which Jonny described as “Big Beastie Cables”! They are truly beautiful to look at, and the result is outstanding! I nearly fell off my seat the instant I turned on my first CD, with so much more detail than I’d ever heard from a very familiar recording, just hearing the impact from an orchestral side-drum. What followed in subsequent weeks has been revelation after revelation as I’ve played through my collection of much loved music. Everything is so much more clearly defined, richer, faster, clearer, more transparent & so much more exciting than ever before, such that I haven’t been able to tear myself away to write this review, or do anything much else actually. I’ve got a truly 3D sound stage, & can hear the characteristic acoustics and reverb of each concert hall. Orchestral Brass has really come alive - just as I know it from decades sitting in front of the brass section of a symphony orchestra where I’ve been a woodwind soloist, their power and harmonics all very present, as is the clarity of the most delicate and tinkly sounds from gentle percussion instruments. High violins, piccolo, even the highest coloratura soprano, are crystal clear without a trace of harshness. Bass is powerful, well defined & fantastic right down to the lowest A on a grand piano, which is 27.5Hz.
Music for a symphony orchestra can be every complex - I’ve never heard such clarity outside of an actual concert hall!
Now please excuse me while I return to my listening chair….
