MMAT is the Secret
All Grand Activation cables are treated with MMAT. A proprietary process that lowers the noise floor, and produces a highly resolving, fluid, natural sound. If you have heard what QSA fuses and other products can do for the sound of an audio component, then you are familiar with MMAT because they are treated with this process as well.
The SC-2000 is the first speaker cable from Grand Activation, and falls in the same line as their HGA-2000 power cords. They offer an extremely high performance to price ratio. The MMAT process takes what looks to be an ordinary design to extraordinary levels of performance.

Our Take
The initial impressions we heard were that of an excellent copper speaker cable. They brought warmth, excellent soundstage height and depth, controlled, articulate bass, glorious vocals, and a very detailed, layered treble. The treble on the SC-2000 was darker than our reference Hapa Silver Aero speaker cables. Not a bad thing at all, just different.
Layering and soundstage are the strong suits. No surprise since the MMAT technology seems to affect those traits greatly. Naturalness is also an effect of MMAT, and the SC-2000 speaker cables shined in this regard as well.
After the long and roller coaster like break in period, we really enjoyed the natural, "lit from within" and spacious presentation of the SC-2000. There was zero listening fatigue, just immersive and natural sound that'll make one forget the time and just bathe in the music.
I would recommend these speaker cables for solid state systems, or systems that may be a bit lean or dry sounding.
