Kubala-Sosna Sensation Speaker Cables

The speaker cable is the link with the most current passing through it, and the link between the amplifier's voltage and the driver's motion. It is where mistakes are most audible — and where good engineering most rewards a serious system. Kubala-Sosna's speaker cables are sold in pair pricing because they are built as pairs, terminated with the listener's preferred combination of spade, banana, or flex-pin connector. Single-wire (SC1) covers most installations; Internal Bi-Wire (SC2, available at every tier except Imagination) gives the high-frequency and low-frequency conductors their own paths inside one jacket — preserving the bi-wire benefit without doubling the visible cable count behind the speakers.

Sensation is the OptimiZ3 entry point. It is the architecture the audiophile press treats as the K-S statement architecture — Positive Feedback gave the Sensation speaker cable a Brutus Award in 2015 — at the more accessible of the two OptimiZ3 price points. The complement is built around analog interconnects, speaker cable, power cord, and USB — focused. The right customer is the listener stepping out of Emotion or Celebration who wants the OptimiZ3 generation in their system without going all the way to Elation! pricing.

Sensation as the speaker cable carries the 2015 Positive Feedback Brutus Award in this exact configuration — the SKU that earned the press attention that defined the OptimiZ3 architecture's reputation. The single-wire SC1 is the cable to run from a reference amplifier to a serious two-way or floorstanding speaker; the SC2 internal bi-wire is the configuration for the speakers whose designers built the crossover to take advantage of it. Termination is configured at build with spade, banana, or flex-pin to the listener's specification. This is the speaker cable for the system whose components are at reference level and whose listener wants OptimiZ3 in the link doing the most work.
