Hi,
My Hi End system is as follows:
PRIMARE CD31, PRIMARE PRE30 AMP AND PRIMARE A31.2 POWER AMP.
The loud speekers are DALI MENTOR 2.
Cheers.

If I remember correctly, Andy Clough uses these cables on his Primare amplification and B&W 805 setup, so they can't be that bad.

Yes, the QED will be more than adequate for that system.

Hey, I only said it'd be adequate for that system. If it were me, and I had to have the Primare system, I'd be thinking Chord Odyssey or Epic.

Re: BI-WIRE SPEEKER CABLE FOR HI-END SYSTEM

HI,
I was thinking about using Chord Epic bi-wire for my system, as the reviews in WHFSAV Magazine gave it 5 stars. Do you think there will be a major improvement on sound and overall quality of the music compared to Qed Silver annaversary Bi-wire?
Thanks

Darn, I have QED Silver Anniversary XT bi-wire, bi-amping my front 3 speakers, should I upgrade it for the front pair? Is it letting the side down?

Not unless you have a listen and are convinced they sound better, no.

Re: BI-WIRE SPEEKER CABLE FOR HI-END SYSTEM

Thanks. Am going to be auditioning the Cyrus Discmaster 8.0qx and probably an Arcam 137 shortly. Need to make sure I'm doing what I need to do to give them the best chance.

Appreciate the advice. Thanks Andrew.
