The Positive Feedback Online review of the Sablon Audio Panatela Special Edition Component Speaker Cables has just gone live here. Mark Coles of Sablon Audio has really outdone himself with his new custom tailored Panatela loudspeaker cables. The Special Edition version of the Panatela speaker cables tailors performance to a particular loudspeaker in order to maximize the performance, and maximize the performance it does!
While Mark can do his tailoring magic for whatever loudspeakers you have, this particular Edition was tailored for the Tannoy Dual Concentric™ loudspeakers like the Canterbury SE, Westminster Royal SE, or Kingdom Royal that use the five binding post cabling arrangement. So the result is that I got the chance to review a complete Panatela Special Edition Component Speaker Cables set (ground connection cable, low-frequency cable set, and high-frequency cable set) tailored for the Tannoy loudspeakers - that's exciting!
Here's a couple of excerpts from the review:
"One of the strengths of the Panatela is being able to unravel complex music, like classical music, and present it in its full sophisticated glory. In this regard I think the Panatela speaker cables have no rival. Listen to any one of the Ansermet recordings and I suspect you'll be picking your jaw up off the floor even as I did. This level of musicality combined with this level of sonic sophistication is unrivaled in my experience.
Ok, I could go on and on describing how fantastic—and they are fantastic—the Panatela Special Edition Component Speaker Cables are on every kind of music I listened to, or I could recommend that you should audition them for yourself. I predict you'll be as blown away by these speaker cables as I was."
"If you're ready for a revelation in the musicality and sonic performance of your Hi-Fi rig, I suggest you have a consultation with Mark about ordering a custom suit of Panatela cables for your particular loudspeakers. It will not be cheap, as nothing custom and handcrafted is, but it will be more than worth it. I think you will be astounded with the final results just as I was. The Panatela Special Edition Component set of speaker cables has completely reset what I thought was possible from a set of speaker cables. Very enthusiastically recommended!"
Are the Panatela component speaker cables the best speaker cables I've ever encountered? Yes, easily.
