mac,

I have been using the Belden 8402 along with the WE 16ga for the past 6 months. Have them with a Truth line stage BEL 1001 SS amp, and Spendor SP-1 speakers. They replaced Kimber KCAG and Anti-Cable speaker wire. I do not find any of the harshness that you expressed and they clearly outclassed my previous cable combination instantly. As a caveat, I have not cable experimented extensively in a very long time.
The Duelunds appear to be a superior design, and being so reasonable I will probably experiment with them in the near future. However, I could stay with the Belden, WE combination for a long time. In my system I find them  to be open, airy, tonally accurate with a deep quality soundstage.
I've been using the WE 16 gauge for a couple of years. I've recently added Tekton D.I.'s and a Had Inspire 7 watt SEP amp. Feeling I needed some more high frequency bloom, I purchased the DCA 16 and after about 34 hours of use it is a little more extended on top, but lacking some body and robustness in the lower regions. Today I just ordered the WE 10 gauge, but could not get enough for a double run.

So with that a couple of questions. Has anyone tried combining a WE, and a DCA for a double run, or is that a really dumb idea?

Since for now I can't get enough WE 10 for a double run, what about combining my 16 with the 10 being shipped this week for more extension on top?

And the last question I could use help with for now is with a double run on the D.I.'s binding post with no hole in the middle, and for me needing to use the posts, any ideas on best ways to terminate with a thicker bare wire on that type of post?

Bill, Is it your experience that the 12 gauge Duelund offers similar warmth, weight, and body of the WE, along with more air, and high frequency bloom?

BTW, thanks for the tip on the Neotech connectors.
