{"product_id":"esprit-lesprit-speaker-cable","title":"Esprit L'Esprit Speaker Cable (Pair) – Handmade in France","description":"\u003cp\u003eRichard Cesari likes to say that a speaker cable is not a piece of jewelry. Esprit is not trying to impress the eye, and the goal is for the speaker cable to disappear once the music begins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eEsprit L'Esprit Speaker Cable\u003c\/strong\u003e is a pair of loudspeaker cables from level 9 of Esprit's nine ranges. Each L'Esprit speaker cable is made by hand in Confolens, in France's Charente region, in 2, 2.5, 3 and 4 m pairs with banana or spade terminations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“L’Esprit speaker cables and interconnects reproduce music smoothly, and deliver the streams of music across the entire frequency spectrum with feather-light ease.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e— Matej Isak, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.monoandstereo.com\/esprit-audio-lesprit-xlr-and-speaker-cables-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eMono \u0026amp; Stereo\u003c\/a\u003e, reviewing the previous-generation L'Esprit XLR and speaker cables (2024)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThirty years in one range\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEsprit reserves its most ambitious language for the L'Esprit speaker cable, calling the range the supreme incarnation of musical emotion, the one that carries the soul closest to the absolute. Thirty years of experience, research, tuning and listening tests culminate in L'Esprit, and the company says the L'Esprit speaker cable concentrates every one of its developments. Every improvement in the other Esprit ranges begins with the research done for L'Esprit, which the brand calls both the source and the synthesis of its work, and the L'Esprit speaker cable is where that research lives in full.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMade by hand in Confolens\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEsprit's team designs and assembles the L'Esprit speaker cable by hand in its workshop in Confolens, Charente. Richard Cesari insists that assembly counts as much as materials, so each L'Esprit speaker cable is checked at every stage of the work. The first complete check of the L'Esprit speaker cable is made by the person who built it, and nothing moves on until it has been validated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe sound, in Esprit's words\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEsprit speaks of the L'Esprit speaker cable in terms of emotion rather than measurement, describing each note as a pure moment of ever-renewed musicality. For Richard Cesari, the goal of all this work comes down to one word, music, and the L'Esprit speaker cable is where Esprit pursues it furthest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEsprit explains that a larger conductor section lowers resistance, which matters in a L'Esprit speaker cable because speaker links carry significant current. In listening, the company says, that lower resistance tends to bring a quieter background, firmer bass and freer dynamics from the L'Esprit speaker cable. For Esprit, a cable such as the L'Esprit speaker cable should simply let the system express what it can do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eChoosing your speaker cable\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe L'Esprit speaker cable is level 9 of 9, the summit of the catalog above Gaia. Pairs of the L'Esprit speaker cable come in 2, 2.5, 3 and 4 m, with banana or spade terminations, so measure the run from amplifier to speaker and allow a little slack.
