Analysis Plus Big Silver Oval Speaker Cable - 6 Foot - Banana to Banana - Pair

What It Does in Your System

The Top Silver Speaker Cable in the Analysis Plus Line

Analysis Plus is an engineering firm first. The Michigan company built its name testing and modeling cables for other manufacturers, then decided it could do better itself. Big Silver Oval is their premier silver speaker cable.

This is a matched 6-foot pair with bananas at both ends. Six feet is a common real-world length for speakers flanking a rack. Bananas are the most universal connector, so they work with standard binding posts and with recessed ones that won't take a spade.

An Oval Shape That Keeps the Sound Even

Their computer work showed a problem with round wire. The signal bunches up in certain spots, and it bunches differently at different pitches. So they built a hollow oval shape instead, woven so every strand sits about the same distance from the return path.

Current spreads evenly as a result. Resistance — how much the cable fights the signal — stays about the same from the lowest bass to the highest treble. You hear that as a cable that sounds consistent top to bottom, with transients arriving intact.

Silver Speed Without the Silver Edge

Silver has a reputation for a bright, hard top end. Older silver cables earned it. Big Silver Oval works around the problem by layering pure silver over a copper core. The copper gives the hollow shape the strength it needs to hold form. The silver sits on the outside, where high frequencies travel.

The current version stepped up from 12-gauge wire to a thick 9-gauge, with a longer, flatter oval profile. More metal in the path means more grip and punch at the bottom end. The result is fast and detailed without the harshness silver used to imply.

Is This Right for You?

A few things to check before you order:

• You have a system that can show the difference. This is a reference-level cable. It rewards gear that can reveal what it's doing. If the cable isn't the weak link in your system, the Black Mesh Oval 9 will serve you well for much less.
• Six feet is a common but tight length. Measure your actual routing path with the connectors seated, including the drop behind the amplifier. Thick 9-gauge wire doesn't take sharp bends to make up a shortfall.
• Bananas suit almost any terminal. If you'd rather have spades, Analysis Plus offers this cable with their T1 spade instead. Give us a call and we'll sort out the right version.

Setup & Installation

Push the banana plugs into the binding posts on your amplifier and speakers. They hold by spring pressure, so no tools are needed. Match positive to positive and negative to negative at both ends, and wire both channels the same way.

The cable is about 17mm by 5mm across, so it's a wide flat oval rather than a round bundle. That shape lies flat along a baseboard or under a rug edge. Thick wire doesn't like sharp corners, so give it a wide curve where it leaves each component. Keep the run clear of AC power cords where you can.

Features & Specifications

Patented Hollow Oval Geometry
Keeps the signal from bunching up in the wire, so resistance stays steady across the whole range of pitches.

Pure Silver Over Oxygen-Free Copper
Silver sits where high frequencies travel, on a copper core that holds the hollow shape in place.

9-Gauge Conductor
A step up from the previous 12-gauge design, adding grip and punch at the bottom end.

Woven Braided Construction
Flexible braid resists the kinks and flat spots that degrade the signal in solid-wire cables.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a pair or a single cable?
This is a matched pair. You get two 6-foot cables, one for each speaker. That's everything you need to wire a stereo system.

Will a silver cable sound bright?
That worry comes from older silver cables that put fine detail on a knife's edge. This one uses silver over a copper core, in a shape built to keep resistance steady across all pitches. That's what stops the rising top end that causes brightness. With our 60-day guarantee you can hear it in your own room and decide.

How does Big Silver Oval compare to Silver Apex?
Both use silver over an oxygen-free copper core. Big Silver Oval is a single 9-gauge hollow oval conductor. Silver Apex nests three of them and adds double shielding, which makes it a more complex and more expensive build. Big Silver Oval is the premier silver cable in the Oval line, and it's an excellent choice on its own terms.
