price of WireWord ECLIPSE III DISCRETE BIWIRE


I can purchase a pair of  sedond hand WireWord ECLIPSE III DISCRETE BIWIRE, 4 M lenght, just what I need. Has anybody an idea of the price of these cables new? I use now MONSTER CABLE Z2B BIWIRE. I assume it will be a big improvement. Any advice on this cable also welcome. my amp: Classé CA2200 + B & W 803.

I guess my first question would be:

Why do you assume it would be a big improvement? You like what you like. An improvement? Probably. A "Big" improvement......maybe.

My second question is:

They don’t make that version of those cables anymore. I believe WireWorld’s Eclipse is up to version 8. They certainly weren’t "cheap" when they were new, that’s for sure. If I had to guess, I would probably say they were around $1500-ish new. Somewhere in that ballpark, I'd wager.

I think they also came in a couple of different "flavors" (silver/copper, etc....)

IME (at least with my Classe CA-2200/ speaker setup), any silver cable I’ve tried makes my system sound VERY bright. I stick with all copper cables. YMMV, depending on what you like and what those cables are actually made of.

If you’re purchasing from a store, see what the return policy is. You might eat some $$$ on a restocking fee, but if you hate them, at least you’re not out the whole amount.


That's a pretty big ask from a private seller.

I agree with @jackd , if you think you want them and the price is right, buy them and give them a shot.
You might love them.
But if you don't like them, put them back up for sale.
