Hi forum team,
Long time reader, first time poster here. I've read a ton of threads and am still pretty confused about quality yet affordable speaker cables... Get your popcorn out .
I had a demo in store and then a home demo of a naim uniti atom and some acoustic energy ae500 speakers with the store provided cables (chord company I think). Sounds is great and great system so I bought it at a reasonable deal, cables were offered from the stores lost, but they were still going to cost 180 - 260 quid for 2 X 10m runs. So I opted to exclude them.
I'm now looking to buy some cables at a reasonable price for the system and speakers to deliver the sound they're capable of delivering. I've been thinking about the KabelDirect 2x2.5mm from Amazon for 25 quid for 30m. I can terminate them myself so no issue there. Is this a good shout, am I really going to notice a drop in performance Vs the home demo I had - bearing in mind it's for a relatively small room for home use - Music, TV, games, the odd party, etc.
Tldr: bought a naim uniti atom and acoustic energy ae500 speakers and need some cables. Should I spend silly money on cables or go for a cheap option with good reviews and recommendations from KabelDirect?
Thanks everyone so much in advance for your inputs
