The difference in Maestro versus Maestro II is in the dielectric according to SW - you might want to confirm with SW regarding the Crescendo but I suspect it is the same. SW still makes good and underrated cables.
I listened to some SW cables around 2012, red jacketed, lower models in the chain. Anyway, these cables sounded very good and were relatively inexpensive.
