SMS2.4 loudSpeaker cable     


" Once broken in, the SMS2.4s' sound was enlightening. With very little coloration, the SMS2.4s simply got out of the way. With them in the system, it was easier to discern differences between recordings and upstream components.
The soundstage was large, and detached from the speakers, but would swell and constrict depending upon the recording and/or upstream components.

The SMS2.4s editorialize so little that some listeners will find them uninvolving, not realizing that it is another component that is to blame (not to mention their own sonic proclivities and prejudices). Listeners seeking hyped treble, exaggerated warmth, dynamic hyperbole, etc., should look elsewhere.

Those who want the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth will find it in the Ecosse SMS2.4s. Ecosse's cable products are worth the effort to find—they're that good.

"this loudspeaker cable is among the best I have tested. If anything on the recording reaches the amplifier output you are very likely to hear it."

Ecosse cables are among the best I've heard. I will also say, "As audiophile grade cables go, they are not cheap." But for questers, for those seeking the holy grail of reproduced sound so lifelike it can fool the ear (trompe-l'oreille?) into hearing live musicians in the listening room, for those knights errant they seem a bargain.

The Ecosse Myth/Pro interconnects and the Ecosse SMS2.4 loudspeaker cables are among the most "neutral" I've heard. Put simply, they are the least lossy cables I can remember hearing.The fit and finish is at the highest level.

The Ecosse breathtaking SMS2.4 are the latest iteration of a series of top-of-the-line speaker cables... the .4's take my breath away.

I feel pretty certain that these two sets of cables, the Ecosse Myth/Pro interconnect cables, and the Ecosse SMS2.4 loudspeaker cables are among the best at their price points, and are a striking example of applied theory in cable technology.

YOU SAY YOU WANT A REVOLUTION…

Well here it is! Ecosse SMS2.4 SuperMonocrystal™ speaker cable uses revolutionary conductor technology to bring you the world finest cables in price versus performance-bar none!

Years of painstaking and dedicated research has resulted in the first real advance in copper wire casting and processing since the advent of single-crystal conductor material two decades ago. This technological breakthrough is a refinement and development of the Professor Ohno process (the inventor of Monocrystal™). Temperature gradients are strictly controlled, as is the process environment.

Was it worth it: heres what HI-FI & HOME CINEMA MAG(UK) had to say: "this loudspeaker cable is among the best I have tested".

The physical stabilization of the pure copper from this heating and re-crystallising 'treatment' results in a wire with an absolute minimum of impurities in the grain boundary' and exceptional linearity through - and well beyond - the audio frequency band and much improved conductive properties. The low DC resistance resulting from this process ensures ultra wide bandwidth, minimum inter-frequency phase shift and uncompressed dynamics.

As an upgrade to the superb MS2.4 we offer the breathtaking SMS2.4 - also 'multistrand' single wire cable, large x-section, circular and in rope-lay construction. Here the concentric parallel bundles of wire are tightly woven together. The dielectric is high-grade polyethylene and the conductors are twisted together in a precise helix. The outer jacket is vibration absorbing flexible PVC.

Once installed, from the first bars the SMS2.4 will astound. Music is conveyed with the clarity, vibrancy and presence of a live performance. Speakers disappear and your listening room becomes the recording venue - complete with ambience and reverberation characteristics - whether concert hall or studio.

The sounds from vocalists and instrumentalists alike are projected into the room from solid point sources with excellent focus and correct height, width and depth perspectives. The soundstage takes on a tangible presence in your room - as do the musicians - and the finest nuances are heard for the first time. Music pours forth with an ease and liquidity that is positively organic.

The SMS2.4 is truly a great speaker cable that transmits all audible (and beyond) frequencies with absolute linearity and accuracy, clarity and ease. In fact, it outperforms all cable we have evaluated it against-at up to 100% more expensive. You must seriously consider it in tandem with our Myth, or better, our statement Legend SE MkII Interconnect.

The SMS 2.4 can be factory terminated with our exclusive new Ecosse-logo Monocrystal™ Copper (or Ecosse-logo OFC) z/x bananas or Monocrystal™ copper (or OFC) spades (7.2mm pitch), which offer superior performance with respect to detail, sound staging and accuracy and use our proprietary Supersolder™ -pure Sn/Ag wire in 96/4 ratio.
