M-7
Magnificent Seven loudspeaker cables are just
slightly thinner than STEALTH Ultimate Ribbon, but share their
overall sonic signature and the main elements of the
construction. The standard color is blue. Each set consists of
four separate thick cables 11 AWG each: two go to the right
speaker, and two go to the left one, which means that if
measured conventionally, these cables are thicker than 8 AWG per
speaker; each set 8 feet set contains more than 1.5 pounds of
pure silver, each cable (of the 4 cables in a stereo set) is
composed of seven individually insulated flat solid core pure
silver wires with flexible proprietary dielectric (better than
Teflon - the dielectric is 90% air) thus dramatically lowering
the dielectric constant – bringing it to approximately 1.15 -
with (vacuum-air) being about 1.0 and (the closest) solid Teflon
being 2.2 to 2.5 depending on the Teflon type (all other known
solid dielectrics have higher constants; the closer the
dielectric constant to 1.0 - the better for the sound because
low dielectric constant means low energy storage, which offers
fast transients and the lowest distortion). The silver ribbons
(flat wires) used to make these cables are different in size and
thickness (to eliminate internal resonances in the entire
cable), and arranged in a proprietary oval pattern. The outer
diameter of each cable is approximately 5/8 inch, but the cables
are not very rigid and quite manageable. Bi-wiring is a good
idea, but it's not necessary with the M-7s - because each of the
four cables in this set is actually not-bi- and not tri - but
seven-wired internally! The cables are offered factory
terminated with STEALTH original solid silver lugs.
Suggested retail price for an 8 feet long set of M-7 speaker
cables is $1900.00
