Replace Kimber 4vs with...?

the 3104 must be an excellent low cost bi-wire cable.
If I had to replace my canare 4s11, that's what I would get. 9awg of good copper total? unbeatable.

Great, please let us know what you think after awhile.

Thanks for the insight, Schubert. I decided to take a chance on the Libtecs after reading one of your posts recommending them on another thread, and then reading many positive comments on other forums. The pricing is certainly right, as I got both the SCs and ICs for $220. Just need to get some quality stand-mount speakers now, and I'm ready to go.

Duvallite, the one downside of Libtec is it takes about 400 hours IMO to be at its best.I have 3 prs of different length
and trermination.Wylde is about as neutral as it gets.
Both are VERY well made , best buys in audio.

At least for the Jazz/Classical acoustic music I listen to,Libtec is unbeatable at anything remotely near the price.
Great SC period, no matter what system or what price.

Thanks for the perspective Zd542.

Brauser: I'll be running 10 feet biwired.

You might want to check out the Zu Audio Libtec cables that are available at the Zu Audio eBay store. They auction a couple of new 8ft. & 10ft. pairs each week, and these cable have been well recommended. I have a 10ft. pair coming that I got for less than $170 that should show up this week, along with a set of their Wylde interconnects.

Kimber 4TC remains an excellent choice especially in a double run arrangement. I'm curious how long the cables are?? Some cables do better than others if longer distances are the issue.

Somewhere I read that the 8TC can be a bit "harder" in the midrange than, say, the 8VS. Does that jibe with the experience that any of you have had? "

Its hard to take other peoples opinions on stuff like this. As with most stranded copper cables, the 8TC is a little rough around the edges. I have no idea if you'll have the same experience, but you may.

I had the 8TC and it was OK. I prefer Audioquest Type 6 or Type 8. Its also less expensive than the Kimber. I haven't heard them myself, but a lot of people seem to be very happy with Morrow cables. They have a good return policy, so there doesn't appear to be much risk in trying them.

I second the 8TC at that price level, especially since you seem to like the Kimber house sound. It's a nice cable.

Thanks Mcslipp. Do you mean 8TC? I couldn't find 8TS anywhere.

I'm sure you'll get 1001 different opinions but my 2 cents is your 4vs would be pretty hard to beat at the sub $200 mark. If you like you current Kimber's I'd suggest looking for some used 8TS. They'll run a touch more than $200 but are certainly a step up and are (IMHO) one of best lower priced speaker cables out there.
