I recently acquired a Marantz PM11S1 integrated and have been running it with my ProAc Response 3.5 in the main system. I wanted to try a sleek integrated solution with high WAF. Evidently the silver Marantz has higher WAF than the black Acurus DIA100. First impression was of a sound reminiscent of the Primare i30. Clean and inoffensive but lacking the valve sound (colouration) of the Tempest. That is a statement of my personal preference - not a judgement! I decided to bi-wire using the amplifier's second pair of speaker posts. Simply select Speakers A + B and away you go. What A Difference! The mids and highs are indistinguishable from my Tablette Reference 8 (my personal benchmark) but bass is significantly tighter. Everything sounds more defined. This is at odds with my last attempt at bi-wiring which resulted in no discernible change in sound. I had given up on bi-wiring after that episode. The same speaker cables are being utilised as per the past experiment. http://www.stereo.net.au/forums/index.php?/topic/23237-biwiring-question/?hl=bi-wire Currently listening to Goldfrapp and it is just beautiful. I intend to work through a broad selection of my music library covering a wide spectrum of genres. I am really enjoying the PM11S1. Not much is going to get done today...

Item: Chord Epic Super Twin (bi-wire) speaker cables - 2M Location: Sydney Price: SOLD Item Condition: Very good (9/10) Reason for selling: A different direction Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, EFT, Paypal (+ fee) Extra Info: For sale is a pair of bi-wire (factory terminated) Chord Epic speaker cables, the Chord Epic Super Twin. Otherwise known in these parts as "the hosepipes". These Chord Company cables were made as either standard single wire (Epic) or bi-wire (Epic Super Twin). For example (new): https://www.lifestylestore.com.au/chord-epic-twin-3m-pair-factory-terminated.html Reviewers have said: (Techradar) "This is a modestly thick cable (10mm in diameter) but it is very tractable and certainly less bulky than Chord's other new cable, Epic Super Twin. This cable mirrors the construction of Epic Twin but doubles up the conductors, making it ideal for bi-wiring or 'shotgunning', where two sets of cable are connected to one set of 4mm plugs. Interestingly, the two cables have much the same aural fingerprint, which is best summed up as being musical without being noticeably 'hi-fi'. There is no sheen or edge to this cable, rather it has a relaxed quality, with a full and solid bass, but not so full it sounds anything less than well controlled. By the same token, it is a detailed-sounding cable, but not in the hyper-analytical sense in which the term is often used for some true high-end cables. It's not the sort of cable to startle you in any particular way; it's just always a pleasure to listen to. But you will find it takes a long time to fully burn in - not unknown with previous Chord cables." (https://www.techradar.com/au/reviews/audio-visual/hi-fi-and-audio/hi-fi-accessories/chord-co-epic-twin-93958/review) (Hifi Choice) "To sum up these cables in one word, they are 'musical'. In short, they are quite simply a superb sounding set of speaker cables." (https://www.chord.co.uk/product-review-epic-twin-speaker-cable-hi-fi-choice-sept-2014/) Pictures:
