@jgladden36 What did you end up going with?
I had the exact same experience as you with the WW Eclipse 8 compared to Canare 4s11g based cables. Much wider/deeper soundstage but suddenly the top end became dull and recessed. Significantly.
Was thinking of trying the WW Silver Eclipse for added brightness.
Maybe it’s that the WBC are really bright and in comparison the WW Eclipse 8 felt really laid back and veiled. Not sure. I am reading that the Silver Eclipse are brighter than the normal Eclipse 8 which sounds like what I am missing.
Like you I feel the WBC are good but a bit too forward/edgy sometimes.
But the WW Eclipse 8 are the complete opposite in my system, extremely dark and veiled in the top end.
To provide some context
My system is
Anthem AVM90 --> Silver Eclipse 8 XLR --> Parasound JC1+ --> WBC (canare 4s11) ---> Sonus Faber Sonetto G2 Viii
