I've got both Alpha V2 and Venom-X speakers cables, and...looked what's hooked up at present for listening to my GR-Research X-LS Encores (which are getting REALLY good now that they've got over 500 hours on them, BTW).



They're both amazing, just...different. Best analogy I can provide is two very fine single-malt scotches, Oban and Talisker. Both incredible, just...different. What you prefer ultimately is dependent on your particular taste.

Renting in is the best way to find out...gather some data, then decide. Cheers.
