Super Lumina with SL2

Posted by: William on 20 December 2017

Probably just showing off my ignorance but I am curious to know if the crossover cables on the SL2 speaker would in any way limit the sound SQ/presentation if the amp to speaker cable is a Super Lumina (and what is the technical reason)?

With the results I’m hearing from SL speaker cables currently on loan, I assume there is no limitation. The difference to the standard cable is goosebumps!

Not really William - It's exactly the same with any other speaker and it's internal cabling being different to what is used to connect the speaker to the amplifier. It sounds like the SL cable is working well for you

Thanks James, I wasn’t really prepared for the massive uplift from the SL even though a few others on the forum have already shared positive experiences, especially in combination with SL2 speakers. On one of the very first tracks we played (Everglow) my wife remarked how much more you notice the electronic effects on the e-keyboard in contrast to the naturalness of the vocals. So much so that some tracks are not as warm as with the standard cables. But for most of my music the presentation is totally absorbing. I already had a wow experience after upgrading to 252/300 DR and giving the SL2s some TLC but now the Super Luminas have unharnessed the whole system.
