Speaker Wire (Silver vs. Copper) (BD-Design)

Hi Hat,

Before I make the investment, has anyone had positive or negative
experience using silver wire in an Oris setup. Would Copper (perhaps CCC)
be a better match for this application?

It depends on your system what to use. I have used Silver in the past and lately I do prefer copper. Silver gives more transparancy, detail and such but also makes the system sound a more technical, less musical.

For Fostex drivers Silver is better because these can use some extra freshness and transparancy, the AER drivers don't need it.

Cabling is the pepper and salt of the system.... use what sounds best in that particular system.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to cable geometry? Twisting vs.
brading...

I prefer thin wire with solid core which are twisted but that's just my preference.

Ciao,

Bert
