I used to own Hex Golden 5C speaker cables in a bi-wire run. They are, as Artmaltman remembers.. very warm and frankly not very revealing of finer detail.
I sold them for Highwire's, which were far more revealing and were overall a lot more involving. I still own a pair of Hex Golden 5c IC's. which are much better IMHO than the speaker cables. The Ic's are very good in the bass dept. But ,still a little slow and dark compared with today's better cables.
Today I think that there are many cables that are better than the Hex Golden 5C speaker cables, one that I particularly like are the Nordost's.
Jmlab926, I agree with you that the Cardas is warm, slow and less revealing than the Nordost cables. However, i much prefer the Red Dawn V2 to the Blue Heaven.
In my system the Blue Heaven was way too bright and cold... The RedDawn v2 is much more revealing than the Blue Heaven and is far warmer.
