What brand of speaker cables to match with the mission mv series and denon receiver? what cable can tame the treble of the missions?
Speaker cables are just a fad, like snake oil business. The looks and fanciness are just seller's business strategies. Any copper cable at least 16gauge is good. Look for silver cables or silver coated copper cables because the best conductor is silver. The secret of good sound is good a preamplifier, good power amps, good interconnect cables, good speaker cables and good speakers. Silver cables with gold terminals is the way to go. Also clean your contacts (new or old) with TPC (The Perfect Connection) wipes. TPC improves every electrical contacts. It increases the contact by penetrating to base metal, removing and preventing oxidation. It will improve your pictures, sound on stereo, prolong life of your batteries and optimize computer performance. These improvements are noticeable once you wipe both the mating contacts surfaces of your equipment which will last for months. Good sound and picture comes from clean surfaces for good contacts. Not unless your contact surfaces, jacks, terminals are plated with gold, it becomes dirty and oxidized thus limiting the connectivity and performance. Also, drive hard-to-drive speakers with "High Current" amplifiers (ex. Yamaha MX-1, Hafler DH-500, vintage Onkyo Integras, etc) Most of these vintage power amps are good to feed the power-hungry speakers. You will be surprised to hear your sleeping speakers wake up once these monsters drive them. I have a modified Hafler DH-500 that will wake up any hard-to-drive speakers out there. Of course I spent 15000 to replace the capacitors, power cable, RCA jacks. Any vintage amps out there that are about 20 years old need to be recapped due to the capacitors are drying out and besides the newer capacitors are sonically better than the old ones. THEY JUST DON'T MAKE GOOD EQUIPMENT THAT THEY USED TO DO ANYMORE. You can tell from their weight. Newer electronics now are mostly designed for mass market, lots of shortcuts. Go vintage, recap with Blackgates, Vishay/Sprague, Mundorf, Solens, V-Caps, Audionote, etc. and if you can afford it, you won't be sorry. Enjoy!
