AQ Mont Blanc vs Pikes Peak


I tried a pair of 4' AQ Pikes Peak speaker cables and they were wonderful in my system. I am wondering if the increased price of the Mont Blanc is worth it over the Pikes Peak. It will be difficult for me to get my hands on a pair of Mont Blanc's to try them. Has anyone compared these two similar cables head to head? What were the differences? Your general thoughts, thanks.

IMO the difference between PSC and PSC+ is quite substantial - the later sounding much purer. But the REAL difference is going from AQ copper to AQ silver line of cables. KE-6, which costs almost the same as Volcano, is not even in another league - it is in another universe than the Volcano.

I went through AQ CV-4, Gibraltar, Volcano non dbs, KE-4 and now I own Kilimanjaro (one step above KE-6) and absolutely love it.

If you are on the budget, you may also try the KE-4 silver speaker cable, which is much cheaper than the Volcano. It still posses much of the virtues of the more expensive silver cables, at a cost of an absolute bass slam and extension (after all, those are 4 tiny silver wires).
