Ensemble Cables? Anyone Use them?


I've recently noticed several dealers "pushing" the Ensemble line of cables and interconnects. Specifically the MegaFlux (highest end) line. When I say "pushing" I don't mean it in a negative way. I just mean they are REALLY enthusiastic about it.

The dealers have informed me that the Ensemble MegaFlux is SO good, it is replacing the highest grade Kimber Select and others in many systems.

The MegaFlux retails for $1400 and change for an 8' run compared to the Kimber which is apparently over 7,000 bucks (I don't know actual price because I haven't priced it).

Hopefully some of you have had experience with this cable and manufacturer. If so.. Please tell what YOU think. How does this Ensemble cable to other cables you've tried?

Zurichmensch, perhaps I confused the term 'dealer' with importer. There are a few of these so called importers in the US. AAudio.com must be the Southern California vendor you are speaking of. Do you honestly believe that these folks would make strong claims for Ensemble cables due to being "economically" scared? That seems ridiculous to me.

I've read as much is available on-line about Ensemble and most claim it to be a superior cable and non system dependent.

Have you actually heard these cables or are you basing your judgement and speculation only on the fact that you are a Swiss citizen?
I've talked to Brian at Artistic Audio He is a great guy. Brian seems to love the Ensemble cables too.

Also.. Read about these on Audio Asylum in the cable forum. There are a few interesting threads discussing how some prefer these Ensembles to high end FIM cables.
