TweekGeek Says: The Firebirds are the best speaker cables I have ever had in my system. There is a sense of dynamic liveness to the music with these cables That I haven't heard in many other cables. Bass is exraordinarily deep, dynamic and tuneful. The overall balance is very neutral, with a wide and holographic soundstage.

Soundstage (Firebird and Collibri interconnects)

Firebird speaker cables employ Stereovox's unique and very successful design concept: Hollow, tubular copper conductors and silver-plated copper micro-filar conductors in a twisted-pair configuration. The result is one of the most articulate, nuanced cables in the world.

Another advantage of the Stereovox design, Firebird is a surprisingly small diameter, lightweight cable that is easy to handle. A welcome contrast to large, bulky alternatives.

Firebird is outstanding as a single run but can be doubled-up for Bi-Wire installations, or bi-wire AND employ HDJC jumpers for a Bi-Shotgun approach that preserves the advantages of bi-wiring while cutting overall resistance in half.

The Stereovox universal terminations mean you do not need to specify spades or bananas - Firebird cables come with both. Unique X-Shadow Bananas are fitted with universal push-on spade adapters. That flexibility is not only an advantage now in not having to select a termination, but a guarantee you'll have the correct fitting later should you change equipment.

"..Surely you've heard about the component that initially sounds fine but unremarkable, until one day, WHAM! the world changes. Well, that didn’t happen here. What did happen was that as I was scrolling through the cuts on my Keb’ Mo’ Slow Down CD [Okeh/550/Epic 69376], which I find to be a particularly useful barometer for picking out individual areas of strength or weakness of a product, when I noticed that I was listening to tracks I normally skip. Hmmm. By the time I got to track 7, "I Don’t Know," which is usually a fly by for reviewing purposes, it hit me -- hard. With all the Stereovox cables in place, there was a distinctly superior sense of dimension, balance, and "liveness" that drew me in more subjectively than objectively. Translation: I didn’t have to think about why I was enjoying the music and sound, I just was. My left brain had been put to sleep, and the right was in full control..."
