I agree with Nick778 it is system dependent. The new copper versions KS 1116, KS 1016 matched with the 3033 gives my system a relaxed, yet musical sound without losing dynamics, or details. My next choice would be the hybrid. The all silver is in a league of its own. All are excellent one just has to find the sound and balance they are looking for.
Kimber Silver, Hybrid, or Copper....preference?
I have used all the KS series in my system with wonderful results. Both the old versions and new versions(more conductors) are excellent. After system changes and extensive listening have decided on the all copper KS 1011,1016, 1116,and KS 3033. I found them to be the most balanced and musical sounding of the bunch. The silver and hybrid worked great but were analytical or hi fi sounding in my system. Of course YOMV.
