    These are the best speaker cables that I have ever had in my system.
    Well recommended if they are long enough. 2.5m pair.
    Send 'em back if you aren't convinced.

    I've had my pair for a couple of years, not even bothered to try anything else since I got them.
    And I love the extreme hype in the blurb.
    SPECIALIST EXTREME HIGH END AMAZING!!!!
    Expect amazing dynamics and holographic imaging. Expect pristine and effortless sound reproduction that actually sounds real.

    But for a change, it's not too far off true imo.

    They are awful to use, very hard to fit into a system, bend them too much they break. Back in the day I worked for a dealer who stocked them. I think Reference Imports brought them into the UK, if I recall right.

    Personally I did not care for the sound, preferring XLO back then, but even if I had trying to fit them into your set up was so difficult as to be almost impossible + the outer sheath made them bulky as well. One best avoided in my opinion.

    Ah, OK - they sold the last remaining stock of that batch. I'm sure they'll get more in.

    Drop the seller a line and ask.

    I'm getting great results at the moment with Russian 615 conductor litz cables - even better than the vintage Western Electric I was using.

    I paid quite a bit for my Vivid Audio Flat Silver cables recently but I don't intend to change for a long time. Well worth trying if you can source any.

    Thumbs up

    Decided to just go back to my fave speaker cable. I managed to track down a pair of Kimber 8VS at a very reasonable price. I used these for years with my B&W 801's and often wished i had never parted with them. Still, happy days are here again.
