I have just inserted a pair of these speaker cables in my system. I am using Kimber Kable Hero interconnects and some home brew power cords. I have had them for 3 days and I am very impressed with them. They have a wide soundstage and are very focused. The leading transients one of the most striking characteristics of this cable in my opinion. Voices have a lively and free flowing nature. They are very transparent but do not render many of your recordings unlistenable. Stringed instruments are a joy with these cables. They have very quick and have great pace. My only complaint so far is they seem a little lean in the bass department. Don't get me wrong the bass is tuneful and tight but so far I feel the bottom octave is not up to par. I will try and report back after they have accumulated more hours on the cables.
