My experience with the upper end Wireworld cables is that they are generally competitive with others in their price ranges. I used to use their Gold Eclipse IC but have since moved through several others and now use Quattro-fil (and sometimes AZen Silver) which I think provides better focus and detail, but not quite as robust or powerful as the Wireworld.
But I still use their Silver Eclipse 3 speaker cables and haven't yet found a better match with my Talon Khorus (I've tried AZen, Analysis Plus Silver, HT Pro-9, Audio Tekna, Magnan and some others. The Wireworlds do nothing very wrong and most things very right, aand straddle the line between detail and musicality with great grace. They imbue the music with an addictive liveliness and energy. No grain or harshness and very quiet.
Would I buy them at full new retail (~$4000)? Probably not. No cable should cost that much. But at discounted used prices they're really competitive.
I've also used the Polaris speaker cable. It's more laid-back and less neutral with it's energy focussed more in the mid bass. I think it has stiffer competition, at least at its new price.
Wireworld has just come out with their new series 5 cables which I haven't heard.
As always, like everything, cables can be system-dependent.
