I'd think from everything I read, it's HC - but I just saw Grant saying stick with Analog? Not sure if that applies for McIntosh MC2301's

Many Thanks,

Hello Luk,

If I might chime in on this one. I believe that you have a Tannoy speaker - the Canterbury which is a very high efficiency speaker? If so, even though you have a very powerful amplifier, it is primarily operating at less than one watt output for most music. Therefore, your amp is very lightly loaded and pulling very little current.

I agree with Grant that the Sigma Analog is the best choice for your amp/speaker combination. The Sigma Analog uses VTX conductors that are essentially "hollow tubes" which eliminates skin effect and reduce parasitic self inductance of the wire. And the Sigma Analog uses 8 gauge wire which is rated at more than 40 amps of current. That is more than sufficient for any amplifier. All of these aspects deliver a refined and pure sound quality.

Give it a try - I think you will like it.
