Heard them with Audio Note gear ..., very nice.
Heard them with NAIM and with MARK LEVINSON .. "Meh??... at best .."
Your takeaway:
(1) How they sound AND whether or not you actually like it is ENTIRELY system dependent ..... Full stop. One size does not fit all.
(2) if your looking for a particular dramatic esoteric emphasis or prominence shift, the effect of speaker cables by themselves in isolation wont get you there on their own.
Ignoring the effects of the actual recordings - good or bad -The degree of performance influence/ effect will scale down with different pieces in the system. It will usually start with the greatest performance and resolution capabilities provided by your source first, then the amp, and then the synergies provided by the alchemy effect of ALL the cables (ICs, speaker and power) in unison , not just any speaker cables in isolation.
