Nice 8ft pairs of WildWoods started coming up for relatively cheap the past few months (low 2K's versus 17K MSRP), so I bought a couple pairs and replaced all ends with brand new 1007 spades. I double biwire with the 2 pairs.
I REALLY like these cables. Nice balance between warmth of copper and detail of silver. Absolutely gorgeous tonality, especially with tube amps. My memory on Redwood is hazy but I think it had a similar natural tone, coherence, and ease to it. It's really system dependent whether you'd benefit from more silver (more detail, lose a bit of warmth) or less silver than a Wildwood, but It think it hits a nice balance for most. I'd previously tried an all-copper Thunderbird Zero (no biwire) from the new line, and it just fell flat in my system. Think I just gotta have a good bit of silver in my cables.
Before getting these WildWoods, I sold my double Kilimanjaro (with 1007 spades) to a friend and I still don't know why the hell I did that. Those were all-silver and detailed as hell but didn't go over the top with it; somehow they still had a touch of natural warmth / sweetness to them. The WildWoods are a little less detailed but a little sweeter sounding. It's a VERY close call between the two. I still regret selling the Kilis, though. Configuration on the double Kilis is the same as one WEL Signature, btw.
