Rather than trash my own thread on ProAc SM100s user experiences, thought I'd start a dedicated one seeing who on PFM has bought/demo'd/experienced the EWA LS-25 speaker cables?
Nice review.
Would appreciate if you can expand on the differences between the Chord Epic and EWA-LS25. Also, did you listen to the NAC A5 in your system as well?
FWIW I have the Chord Epic Twin on my 282/HCDR/250DR and find it to be a nicely balanced cable. The bass is textured and nicely extended while the treble is dependent on the recording. Overall I find the Chord Epic to be a good match to the system, and I slightly prefer this cable to the NAC A5 for its added detail and refinement.
The Chord Epic may not sound too epic as it's a nicely balanced cable. Your comment on the trimmed top and bottom of the Epic is intriguing as I don't find the highs to be rolled off, or the bass to lack punch, depth of impact.
Are you using the Naim Superuniti and Proac SM100 when you evaluated the cables?
Been looking/thinking of a not so flowery/BS way of describing the result,
Highly recommended if you've got the appetite to hear your system at its best.
So I figured I'd need 2x8m to ensure the signal arrives at the speakers at the same time
I know Naim amps recommend a minimum length between amp and crossover are there any other amps need this, ie the nCores? I'm looking at this cable and I really only need around a metre aside split into the relevant lengths per speaker?
In the time it takes the signal to travel the 3 metre difference, sound moves 0.000003 m, or 1/10 the width of a human hair, so if your speakers are off by even one mm, it makes a much larger difference.
You understand electrons travel at the speed of light? There will be no time delay.

In an insulated cable they don't, PTFE Cat5 cable the NVP (Nominal Velocity of Propagation) is around 66% of the speed of light in a vacuum.
How - it looks like the same conductor diameter, same construction and same insulation........?
However, I see it is about half the price (though far from cheap).
