Gromit's music centre...

Your not wrong, ES & Van Damme do work well together. A chap called CJRoss put me onto the pairing back in 2005 on the whathifi forum... He got a lot of flack from the usual suspects but he [and I] are still using it today whilst the naysayers have probably changed speaker cables more often than their underwear.

I've always thought K20 & Naca4 are one & the same... Is that correct ? Tried some K400 but it wasn't anything to get excited about.

As Richard says, Cable talk 3

Yes, K20 and NacA4 are the same thing other than the colour of the insulation. NacA5 is quite different though - same dimensions but fewer and thicker strands in a much stiffer insulation.

Personally I have used K400 for many years and it has served me very well - certainly it has not impeded any of the many modifications I have made.

[istari_knight]

As I thought. Also had Naca5 but with a full Naim setup so hard to evaluate how good it was...

I'm sure K400 is great in the right system but personally I wouldn't want to spend any more than £5/pm for speaker cable these days no matter what logo's on it.

[YNWaN]

That seems fair.

Well the results are in - the Snells will be up for sale as they just do not like my room at all. A shame as they're in lovely condition but I'll place an ad for them v soon with photos.

[Gromit]

Bit of a pants photo I'm afraid but it gives the idea...






I was all ready to put these up for sale as they sounded really quite wrong, but had a quick re-jig and they sound really rather good now. As good as the Edens? No, not by quite a margin, but they've certainly had a 2nd chance put it that way.

SL24's work well with these too.
