Sorry,
Its was a link to a member selling a similar Krell amp in favour tubes;
Here is the amp in question:http://www.stereophile.com/integrate...09/index1.html
What buggs me about this cable enquiry is the amount of cable / wiring inside the loudspeaker.
As I recall the 4341 has a fixed crossover (not biampable), L pads and a wire loom.
I have messed with cables over the years and while I can say I have detected difference there is no means of say what is right/wrong.
Perhaps one point is that if you a serious about cables with a nice amp like the Krell then consider running the same wire type from the amp to the loudspeaker drivers. The likelyhood of getting a definitive improvement as opposed to be just different soundis much greater.
I did this for Porshedpm using using Cardas cables for external crossover in the images below. Cardas binding posts and spade connectors were part of the deal and an 8 pole Speakon plug.
With sounding rude if you own Krell amp then the justifucation is there for a well thought out cable system.
No I am not looking at doing another job like this. It was cost no object job at the time and was very time intensive. The results were impressive. Other members have made external crossovers and elaborate cable systems. In my own setup using Mundorf silver oil capacitors I used Cat 9 twisted pairs (C/- of Zilch) which were not expensive but took ages to make up. I liked what they did. But I used the same cables right to the drivers. This cable had a very open and refined quality using Passlabs amps as a reference.

I eventually figured out that if I used 18-gauge copper on the (+) terminal and Alan Share Modena on the (-) that the sound was a nice robin's egg blue and the room smelled of Dr Pepper Jelly Bellies——and that made me very happy.
But then one of my daughters is a synesthete.
I havent been able to discribe like this since a couple nights in college...
Quoted from a review in the Absolute Sound.
"Paul Speltz’s “anti-cable” (is) constructed of 12-gauge solid-core copper wire with a very thin red coating or dielectric. According to Speltz, it’s the minimal dielectric that accounts for the amazing clarity and virtual lack of sonic signature.
Miraculously, the cost is only $80 for an 8-foot pair with spades."
Basically he is selling magnet wire... not a bad idea, I am still a skeptic, but if you want to terminate your own wire, here is the same stuff for far less...

Hi everyone
Here is some pictures of my gear
JBL 4341 in perfect condition!
Audio Alchemy DTI+XDP
Power supplies PS1 + PS4
AudioQuest Gibraltar

Krell KAV400XI
Analysis Plus Silver Oval In
Last week I bought a set of Analysis Plus Silver Oval In interconnect.
With my AudioQuest Gibraltar it makes music so living and close.
I am happy and satisfied
Can't find fault with that!I am happy and satisfied

This is exactly the right idea Widget. A decent sized peice of metal with minimal insulation is the best. The insulation on the cable is the only thing that can effect the "sound" coming out the end of the cable. Some people say that they can hear the difference in the metals but I cant say I have heard it. You do however notice a huge difference in a poor quality cable with a lot of capacitance in the insulation. Magnet wire should be the ultimate but it is not very practical.
OMG!
Are those arrows pointing in the right direction?
I hope so!OMG!
Are those arrows pointing in the right direction?Thinking about changing the inside cabling to better. Those two cables has lifted my gear to "heaven". Happy - happy

Thanks for reply
I'm glad you're happy I'm sure Anal-Ysis knows what they're talking about. Maybe you could do a test for us and reverse the directional interconnects and let us know how it affects your air and bass?I hope so!

Do you actually need hi-fidelity to listen to Lynyrd Skynyrd? :dont-know
"Thanks I'm a country boy" - wasn't that John Denver from NJ ??I'm glad you're happy I'm sure Anal-Ysis knows what they're talking about. Maybe you could do a test for us and reverse the directional interconnects and let us know how it affects your air and bass?

No, he's the guy who thinks the Shenandoah River and Blue Ridge Mountains are in West Virginia. Here's the Lynyrd Skynyrd song link (I corrected the spelling thanks to Google):"Thanks I'm a country boy" - wasn't that John Denver from NJ ??

Thanks for your reply! I will do the test in a few month - I really think the Silver Oval In has not burn in - enough!!
Maybe this will help?
Seemed to do wonders for our Blue Oval over here: http://www.motherjones.com/news/feat...9/compress.mov
Good luck!
"... the band is just fantastic, that is really what I think... "
yeah... and careful burning in the speaker cables backwards;
you might have to start over again.
