Mapleshade Double Helix spker cable: Rating??

You rarely see the Mapleshade Double Helix speaker wire on sale on Audiogon. Need some feedback on their sound quality and how they rate with cables like Nordost Red Dawn LS; Analysis Plus Oval 9 Black; Silnote Reference.

I have read the "Plus" version which tacks on another $110.00 only provides marginal improvement. I don't want to order the cable in either version, and then return them. I live overseas and it's a hassle and expensive. For those who either own them, or tried them, is there any problem using the cable with a 6 ohm speaker, or a tube?? integrated. Thank you

Just my 2 cents. I'm a long time user of a pair of Golden Helix speaker cables. I've never found them to be restricted at the high end. In my system they are actually amazingly transparent and extended. The bass is also awesome in its quickness, definition and depth.

They are a bit forward sounding, with things like drum kits and electric guitars jumping out of the speakers unlike any of the many cables I've tried and own. In spectacular fashion actually. I play a few music cuts at times just to experience being enveloped by it (with the wife out of the house of course).
