Ah okay. Just wondered.
I used some LS5 on the KEF Calindas I have. I'd previously sidelined them as I thought the bass was a bit weak and floppy. With the LS5 the bass was a lot tighter and actually energising the room. I'm not really sure how a speaker cable can make that difference, but it did. I shouldn't have sent it back, on reflection.

That's a pretty good description of what they do wrt to the bass. More energy somehow.

Yes, before I tried it for myself I was highly skeptical of the various reports about the bass performance. I mean it's a length of wire, isn't it? Have to admit I was taken aback when I tried it with those KEFS. Not so good a match with my Akais, though, which is why I didn't keep it.

Been using LS3's for nearly 2 years now. Good cables that can sound very musical in the right system/room etc.
