Hi,
I have these speakers:

Low efficiency but a fairly high(always>8 Ohm) and regular impedance:

and two Aleph 3 (vertical biamp) to drive them.

Do you think it's better to use a cable with high capacitance/low inductance or one with high inductance/low capacitance to drive them?

Thanks

I'm no expert but my understanding of inductance and capacitance in cables is that decreasing one comes at the expense of increasing the other-- and visa versa.

I don't know what mix of parameters would work best with your speaker. However; I use a cable designed by Jon Risch that avoids the extremes (of either capacitance or inductance), mitigates the penalties better than any cable that I know of and works well with my ESL speakers. You can't buy this cable but you can build it yourself. Instructions and materials are described in the link below:

I know the work of Risch, maybe i've read in Audioasylum Diy. Thanks.:)
