Synergistic Research Atmosphere Excite SX - Lvl.2 Speaker Cables
Best high-end speaker cable for audiophiles seeking customizable, holographic sound realism.
Experience unparalleled audio fidelity with the Atmosphere Excite SX Speaker Cables. These cables feature four distinct geometries per run, including two parallel Silver Matrix configurations and two hand-crafted Air String geometries made from pure 6-9s silver. This advanced design significantly enhances detail and holographic realism. The cables undergo a High-Frequency Long Duration Conditioning Process, originally developed for state-of-the-art SRX looms, to elevate performance. They also include two Galileo SX Gold UEF Tuning Bullets, allowing for easy system voicing by simply listening with and without the bullet to achieve the optimal sound.

The overall sentiment praises the significant leap in system synergy achieved.
Know before you buy
The tuning bullets allow you to customize the cable's sonic signature to better match your specific audio system. By listening with and without them, you can determine which configuration provides the best balance of warmth and detail for your room and components.
This hybrid design balances the structural stability and high-current delivery of the Silver Matrix conductors with the transparency and holographic imaging provided by the pure silver Air String geometries. The result is a more nuanced, three-dimensional soundstage.
This process breaks in the cable at a molecular level before it ever reaches your system. It effectively bypasses the long, inconsistent burn-in period typically required for high-end silver cables, ensuring optimal performance right out of the box.
Yes, the Atmosphere Excite SX cables are designed with versatility in mind and come equipped with both SR BoFa banana plugs and SR silver spades to accommodate most standard amplifier and speaker binding posts.
The UEF Matrix Shielding uses graphene to actively dissipate electromagnetic interference and noise that can cloud your audio signal. By lowering the noise floor, it allows for greater micro-detail and a cleaner, more precise presentation of your music.
Yes, due to the complex internal geometry and the specific application of the UEF shielding, these cables are directional. You should ensure the arrows on the cable jackets point from your amplifier toward your speakers for the intended performance.
