The 8TC is very good in the right application. It doesn't seem to be a real good match if you are using 'quick' interconnects such as Nordost or Goertz or Mapleshade. I use primarily Nordost and Mapleshade and found that the 4TC actually sounded better than the 8TC. I guess that half the conductors works better with 'quick cables'. In my system a true bi-wire set up sounds better than using jumpers, but I understand that this difference varies with the speakers and amplifier being used. I would highly recommend that you audition both the 4TC and 8TC if possible and make your decision that way. Of course, that's always the best way to know for sure.
