Kimber Kable:Spker Cable: Which offers best sound?


Kimber Kable has produced some excellent speaker cable over the years.

Which model offers the "best overall sound" and is the "best value"....8tc; 12tc; or Monacle I?? Can they effectively compete with other high-end speaker cables from Nordost, Analysis Plus, AudioQuest, MIT, etc, etc??

I replaced 4TC Kimbers with Nordost Blue Heaven Revision II Bi- Wires. No better than what I had. Save your money. I only did it because I made money on the Kimbers and got the Nordost for 210.00 2M
Sunnyjim, Mine are the older issues. Revision II. Insulation is Extruded Teflon, conductors x72 round micro litz, material 50 microns silver plated 99.99999 ofc, capacitance 8.6pF /ft, inductance 0.13uH /ft, 93% speed of light... Leif Purple Flare, insulation FEP, conductors silver plated 99.99999 ofc solid core, inductance 0.17 uh/ft, 95% speed of light. Hear any difference? I'd have to have an AB test before shelling out the money. I had a pair of Morrow audio SP-3's that sounded equally as good as the Kimbers and Nordost, and were much lighter and easier to use. Good luck either way, but don't fall for the hype. Would you pay the amount they want for Odin? I'd buy a better component first. Happy listening.
