Cable suggestions for 3.7's
I'm curious what cables mate well with maggies, in your opinion.
Anything that you would stay away from? Have the 3.7's and Ref 3/Magtech combo, with Modwright 105. Any suggestions as to matches to try? Thanks, Carl |

How long do the speaker cables need to be?

8 feet...unless I can find a longer pair of interconnects from pre to amp, in which case I could go 4-5 feet I think

http://www.audioholics.com/audio-vid...er-cable-gauge I use them on my 20.7's. I subscribe to the lowest gauge, shortest length, least resistance logic. Considering the forum that we're in, I'm sorry they are not more expensive. |

Check out The Cable Company's lending library. You can try before you buy. Little risk, big upside.

I agree with the comment regarding short cabling. I use four sets of Shunyata Orions on my 20.1's.

I had Roger Sanders (Sanders Sound Systems) make me a set of cables for my 20.7s when I ordered my Magtech amp. Check out his site and Cables White Paper, its an interesting read.

Canare 4S11. Retails for about $1.50 a foot, but can be found for around $1.25. I've used this on my Maggy 3.6s and my Martin Logan CLSIIAs for awhile now. They replaced some very expensive cables and I couldn't be happier.

I liked the Harmonic Tech Pro-9 Reference external bi-wire on my 3.6's.
Now I'm using the modest Kimber 12TC (1.5 m or 4.9 feet) with WBT nextgen 0681Ag spades at amp ends & 0610Ag bananas at Maggie 20.7 ends. Not too bad. |
