I don't really enjoy providing negative personal experiences - especially as Paul was extremely gracious in giving me plenty of time to test, and ultimately return, my AC Reference 3 speaker cables. Having read the reviews, I awaited their arrival with great excitement. They were replacing Rocket 33's in my system. However they were *extremely* harsh sounding - rendering much of my music unlistenable. As mentioned above, I was able to give them about 60 days of use and they weren't getting much better. Replaced them with AQ GO-4's and am very happy.
