I can`t really comment on the sound of the Kimber Tonik or Timbre since I`ve not heard them but I do know the new versions of the Kimber Select have changed in sound. That being said the new versions have more ``body`` are very transparent, better mids and smooth highs.....I read or heard the Tonik or Timbre was to take the place of the PBJ over time and some of the British Hi Fi mags really like both of these cables. Call Kimber Kable they are nice folks and very helpful.
happy listening
