I have tried both for interconnects and think my NBS Statements are so much more revealing and dynamic than the Cardas. I certainly would not describe the Statements as bright. I think they are very neutral. I'm using NBS Professional speaker cables and have found them to be the best of many brands. (With Proceed preamp, Pass Aleph 4 power amp, and Revel Studios. You will not be disappointed with NBS cables if you can afford them.
