*If you connect the main cable to the woofer and then use a jumper upwards to the M/T (by wire, by jumper plates, and by Data Link), you will be able to hear a slight loss of clarity, since there will now be two to four connections in the signal path instead of just one to the high resolution tweeter.
Also, make sure that you make a very tight connection between the binding post and the spade lugs on the cables. A loose connection will be apparent as a loss of depth and sweetness. Use a contact enhancing fluid once a month on all RCA plugs and binding posts for best results. There will be attendant increases in sweetness, air, soundstage depth, and smoothness equal to an upgrade in cables, but at far less cost.
Although we have tried almost ten different brands and types of speaker cables, we can only give general recommendations due to the fact that the driving amplifier has as much to do with the type of desired wire as the speakers. Since there are hundreds, if not thousands of available amp/wire combinations, we are not in the position of having heard these combinations.
However, in general, stranded wire usually has a softer, fuller, sound, while solid core wire has tighter bass. You can use these traits to “tune” the overall sound of your system.
Please use your VR dealer’s expertise when selecting wires and cables, as he has the experience with both the speakers and different amplifiers and can help you make an intelligent selection.
