Overall, I would consider the Siltech Anniversary cables as quite neutral. Ok, stupidly neutral. They did what good cabling should do, not attract attention to itself. I believe that this neutral quality is due to synergy of all the parts making up these cables.
Do audiophile speaker cables make a difference?
There’s no scientific test data to back up the (misleading) idea that “special” or “audiophile” speaker wires or expensive cable make a noticeable difference versus affordable, good quality speaker wire of the correct gauge. 99.9% of the time it’s unsubstantiated claims and the difference really does not matter!
What is the best material for speaker wire?
copper
For the best quality wire, looking for something made with 100% copper is highly recommended. However, if you’re looking to save a bit, copper-plated or copper-clad aluminum wire is a fine substitute, and there is no noticeable difference in sound quality.
Is copper clad aluminum speaker wire good?
Copper is a good wire material due to its high conductivity and agreeable mechanical properties. Aluminium is cheaper and lighter but difficult to connect electrically. Steel is stronger but has other deficiencies.

Siltech was kind enough to lend me 550i series of interconnects and speaker cables and the SPX-380 power cable. Since all these are designed to work together, they were reviewed as a complete system.

Their Classic Anniversary series, updates of the company’s original Classic line, have been launched in belated celebration of Siltech’s silver anniversary (the company was founded in 1983).
