FS: Zu Mission Speaker cables 8ft
« on: 5 Nov 2012, 06:38 pm »
Hi folks,

I have moved to speakers that need to be biwired, so I am selling my Zu Mission speaker cables.

They are terminated at one end with locking bananas, spades at the other end.

I am looking for $old which will include shipping. These list for $400.

Here is what John Hoffman had to say about these speaker cables in his review:

from http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue55/zu_mission.htm

"The Mission speaker wire is an all copper design, which is fundamentally different than the silver ribbon Audio Magic cable that I have in my system. The defining characteristic of the Zu Audio wire is an intimate presentation of the music with a full bodied tonal balance. The silver ribbon cable has a quick and lively presentation, yet the Mission wire does not cede a significant degree of clarity or speed. The Mission speaker wire has that elusive characteristic of being able to engage the listener; which is the ability to convey the emotional content of the music. One of my favorite jazz standards is "Route 66", which Natalie Cole performs on the Unforgettable with Love disc. [Elektra 9 6TO49-2] With the Zu Audio wire in place, there is a noticeable lack of grain. And Cole's vocals have that "in the room" presence. The band playing with Cole has swing, and impressive dynamic range, which the Mission speaker wire conveys in a realistic manner. The electric bass is in this trio ensemble is prominently displayed, and while smooth as silk, still retains the texture and tonal color of the instrument. The drum set is quick and lively with excellent dynamics and splash on both the crash and hi hat cymbals. The piano passages are articulate and retain an even tonal balance; which is a difficult task for a mid priced speaker cable to achieve. Throughout the varied range of music on this disc, the Mission speaker wire performs admirably and consistently portrays the music with a pleasing balance between detail retrieval and an easy on the ears presentation."
