Viggen - Loss of extreme highs, loss of bass weight - loss of soundstage depth. This is really bizarre to me but I use spades and even with identical wire I noted those differences and could only say because had to do with the quality of the connection.
Note I was using "jumpers" on my bi-wire speaker terminals and this may have also been a reason.
I you don't hear a difference then try again in six months - after you give all the connections a good cleaning / retightening and see if you hear an improvment.

Interconnects were different. ALl sound or none at all.
