tried both and went the cardas netural speaker cables..they are by far one of the best products i have ever had "in my system".(btw, the az satori was too rolled off at the extremes for my taste)
havent had much luck with the cardas ic's ( went with the straightwire crescendo ic's)but the neutral reference is the most best speaker cable i have ever had on my alon ii's which are very,very picky.( pse hl-1 pre, pse studio v mono amps, marantz sa-8260)
if you are looking for a speaker cable that doesnt add or subtract, all it does is just present what is there,...very true to the original signal.then you might want to audtion them.
i would consider them to be "THE" starting point of any one looking for a truly neutral "speaker cable". from there you can deceide if you want to go warmer or brighter.
hope that helps,
mike
