ray4410 Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 has any ME owners tried duelund speaker wire if not i highly recommend you do so,they are a match made in heaven , been listening to ME for years with all sorts of cables some silly money stuff, have been listening to the duelund for about a month now and it just sounds so right ,from top to bottom ,the best part is it is cheap,also no need for expensive connectors just use bare wire connections. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgehifi Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 With all the ME's I've owned the best for me was Apperture BL-8 Accusound Silver 4+4 http://marcs.members.sonic.net/apature/pricesjj.html Zaph may even have some still, very hard to get.

IMO, it is the speakers that dictate what speaker cable should be used. ME amps are unconditionally stable, so any speaker cable can be used safely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sort of. A perfect speaker cable exhibits the following characteristics: * Zero Ohms resistance * Zero inductance * Zero capacitance In practice, these figures will never be zero. However, for inductance and resistance, the lower the figure, the better. For a well designed amplifier, capacitance is inconsequential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping some luck comes my way soon for a 550 MKII in excellent to mint condition. If you know anyone that has one that they wish to move on, please let me know. Doesn't have to be high cap as I can do that later. Edited June 14, 2017 by muzzagruzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muzzagruzz Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 It pains me to talk about it. Sold the 25 and 850 last year and replaced them with Luxman. However, I've secured a 25 again so just after a 550 now. The 25 still needs paying for though. Luxman is nice and will stay for now but it doesn't have balls. Far worse than that, it just doesn't move me. At least not with vinyl. Legend speakers need current and the Luxman ain't got it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
