Has anyone heard or have experience with Legend Audio? I am looking for good speaker wires that I don't have to splice myself...I have done that with Monster wire and Banana plugs and that is what I am currently using...Well I now have my second XPA-2 and I am using them Bridged to power my Def-Tech BP7000sc's I currently Bi-Wire the DT's but with the binding posts on the XPA-2's so far away from each other it will have to be redone...AND I think it will be cleaner if I go with the "all in one" bi wire. I came across Legend Audio that has a custom build that the company states are designed with Emotiva in mind as is has a 13" spread with bananas from the amp and terminates with 4 bananas looks great but...Are they any good? If anyone could chime in with their take/advice I would appreciate it!
Here is the link to the eBay item: Legend Audio/eBay listing |

This is what I have and they are very nice speaker wires. They are tougher than a dogs bite and look great going across my living room floor. You can put just about any end on them you want. emotiva.com/products/interconnects/x-ss |

Thanks Axis! ...I looked at Emo's first but I need a min of 10 feet AND need 2 Bananas to terminate at 4...I would love to keep the $ "in the family" but in this case they won't work...

How about moving each of the amps to a location close by its speaker for a shorter speaker wire length?
Cheers

Extremely high quality.
I needed some bi-wire cables with specific spades (for Vandersteen) which they did not offer in their eBay store so I contacted them with the request which was eagerly fulfilled.
I think anyone will be surprised at the build quality and sonics.

I had Legend build a pair for my Vandys many moons ago. Good product, good value

In my configuration it just wouldn't make sense. R/F is appx 4.5' from amp L/f is 8' from amp not to mention I would need to get a lot longer XLR from the pre to the amp...

My reco...go to Home Depot, buy some 10 gauge wire. They sell it by the foot in multiple colors. I bought what I needed in 2 colors (blue and white). I twisted together the lengths I need, put some nice banana plugs from PartsExpress.com on the end and called it a day. I actually twisted together four 10 gauge lines per speaker but not for bi-wiring...I have 2 blues going to 1 binding post and 2 whites going to the other to make the effective gauge even lower. (And yes, it is a VERY tight fit into the banana plugs!!!)
They look really cool, sound fine, the price is really hard to beat, and they are unique.

I have some oxygen free 10 gauge speaker wire I have been using seems like decades and maybe every five years all I have to do is strip the end again and it is like new. |

In my configuration it just wouldn't make sense. R/F is appx 4.5' from amp L/f is 8' from amp not to mention I would need to get a lot longer XLR from the pre to the amp... My LF is 5 metres from the USP-1 and the RF is 3 metres. With the XPA-1L's located next to each speaker I now use a pair of 1 metre Emotiva X Series speaker cables and a pair of X Series RCA interconnects (not much interference at my place). The USP-1 doesn't have XLR outputs for the FR and FL but it does for the subwoofer so I use a 5 metre X Series Balanced cable for it. Many times I have found the short speaker cable / long interconnect to work the best, using balanced connections in electronically noisy environments. Cheers Gary |

I like Blue Jeans cable. Welded connections show zero resistance & con't corrode.
