Speakers Terminations include very robust, twin-screw, Ag-plated dual-orifice spades, as well as appropriate high-friction compact or looser extra-large Ag bananas. Standard 2.5M stock construction of AgPur Cables incorporates BOTH spades and bananas. Interconnects: XLR Harmonie is terminated with Neutrik Pro Ag locking connectors. Athène and Heracles use an Ag-plated fluorocarbon dielectric premium XLR. Locking Neutriks are a no-cost substitution for Pro or studio use. RCA Single-ended AgPUR interconnecting cables use a minimal mass RCA plug comprising silver-plated tellurium/copper contacts. This design preserves an all Ag conductor path, providing total signal coherence. Alternatively, locking WBT 0152Ag are available for Pro or studio use.
AgPur’s cable cores consist of arrays of variable strands, arranged in accordance with the Golden Mean ratio. Each hand-polished silver strand sits in its own voluminous air-cushion within a fluorocarbon barrier to provide vanishingly low dielectric interference. This purely holistic strand arrangement ensures optimal performance by also eliminating cross-strand effects whilst ensuring low capacitance. AgPur thus provides a complete 100% silver pathway, using only roomy Teflon ”air-tubes” as physical barriers. No PVC, PE, other plastics, textiles or foams are used!
Multiple pairs of solid Ag strands, scaled by the Golden Ratio (1.618), combine to provide a naturally balanced musical portrayal through all octaves... with unmatched air, top octave resolution, and exquisitely detailed stage imagery.
ArgentPur Speaker Cables are available in 5 girths according to current capacity: 16, 14, 13, 12, and 11AWG. Choose among these gauges to match your loudspeakers' sensitivity and length requirements.
Approximate the minimum AgPur Speaker Cable AWG required by your system by using the Selector Graphs below.
First determine your cable length requirement on the x (horizontal) axis, as well loudspeaker sensitivity on the y (vertical) axis. The area above each specific curve denotes its application.
Our lowest cost AgPur was created for ultra-high efficiency loudspeakers. This full-res (8 Ag strands) iteration is also very cost-effective for high efficiency loads at very short distances.
Standard length (2.5M) pricing from $2100. Available in lengths from less than 0.25M to 4M.
Custom lengths available. Core price is $600, plus $600 per meter.
Our second-lightest weight speaker cable, the AgPur14 (2.0mm2) is cost-effective, has extremely high resolution and clarity, and is a smart choice for high sensitivity loudspeakers at moderate lengths, and average loads for short cable runs.
Standard length (2.5M) pricing from $2800. Available in lengths from less than 0.25M to 4M.
Custom lengths available. Core price is $800, plus $800 per meter.
AgPur13 consists of the "core" 32 fine Ag strands (13AWG/2.4mm2) matrix to provide exquisite top octave air and clarity for high sensitivity speakers at long runs, as well average loads at short-to-moderate lengths. It's perfect for highest res jumpers for all loads too, or close-sitting monoblocks. It is the most recommended of the AgPur Speaker Cables.
Standard length (2.5M) pricing from $3500. Available in lengths from less than 0.25M to 4M.
Custom lengths available. Core price is $1000, plus $1000 per meter.
AgPur12 adds even more Ag (36 strands) for average sensitivity loads at longer lengths, and more difficult loads at shorter lengths. It's an easy Goldilocks choice for most reference systems. and a perfect choice for higher sensitivity loads at very long lengths too.
Standard length (2.5M) pricing from $4200. Available in lengths from less than 0.25M to 4M.
Custom lengths available. Core price is $1200, plus $1200 per meter.
AgPur11 is our statement Speaker Cable, comprising 40 individually-housed strands of pure Ag for a full 11AWG per leg for all length requirements of even the most demanding low-sensitivity, low impedance, current-gobbling reference speakers.
Standard length (2.5M) pricing from $4900. Available in lengths from less than 0.25M to 4M.
Custom lengths available. Core price is $1400, plus $1400 per meter.
Select the next LARGER AWG if you have...
- speakers with very low impedance, possibly with a nasty phase angle
- large, "dead" room
- preference for max bass slam, with very large amps, or those with high output impedances
- belief that the speaker manufacturer has overstated sensitivity
- relatively unlimited budget, or wish to accommodate "thirstier" future changes
Select the next SMALLER AWG if you have...
- speakers with a very easy, benign impedance
- small-to-average size, or untreated (live) room
- moderate listening levels with moderate bass
- limited budget
If you are considering a no-cost 27 day (2.5M stock length only) demo audition, the optimal choice for a majority of systems is the AgPur 13AWG.
Note that I am a firm believer in using shorter speaker cables and longer interconnects when possible. Please remember that speaker cable lengths must be identical, whereas interconnecting cables may be asymmetrical (especially balanced) without negative consequences. Your amps, voice coils and ribbons will be happier!
