Hi Stealth, you ain't heard nothing compared to what the FIM speaker cable is all about until it has fully broke in. If you think the speaker cable gave you all you have described, give the FIM PC a try. It is one of my favorites. It does need time to form. It is a hassle to use because it is so stiff. It doesn't have that fishy ocean sound. Moby Dick and the meanest shark run and hide in shame and fear from this PC. It has no ocean predators. Snacks on whales and sharks just because it can. If you have a chance to audition the FIM PC, be sure to let it settle. If disturbed you will not realize it's full potential. Congratulations on finding a cable that delivers sound that makes you and your gear happy. BTW, the FIM PC is incredible on tube gear.

REVIEW MANLEY NEO CLASSIC 250 With FIM GOLD SPEAKER CABLES
The match with the Manley amps is surpassing all my expectations! Today my new speaker cables arrived. The FIM (First Impression Music) Gold cables. The match with the Manley amps is much more than I ever expected. What a Great cable! It is not cheap, but it is worth every penny of the cost of admission.
This is a Grand Slam, Dunk, Touch Down, all in one. The FIM is the BEST sounding cable to my ears that I have ever had in my system.
I have previously owned the Nordost Valhalla, HMS Grand Finale, Jenna Labs, Synergistic Resolution Research cables. I have owned Jeff Rowland Model 5 and 7 amps, the Kora Cosmos amps to name just a few.
The FIM has the detail of the Valhalla, the smooth mid-range of the Jenna’s, with all the bottom end performance of the Synergistic. Instruments sound like they are playing live in my sound room. I find myself talking to the voices in the music. After excelling in all those areas the music still sounds like live music. All these qualities are there, with the cable cold out of the box. I plan to put them on my cable cooker next week. The Manley Amps have about 50 hours of burn in time on them, another 50 hours and I should hear even more of the wonderful qualities of these amps. Now, I just have to listen to the music.
