OCC and Litz wires - Furutech Alfa series, Neotech, Cardas

I would like to upgrade current loudspeaker cables which are OFC type (Van Damme 2 x 4 mm2 LC - OFC total definition directional loudspeaker cable)

aim Is neutral sound, fast tight bass

I would like to know your Impression recommendation about following OCC and litz wires

- Furutech Alfa series - using Alfa OCC copper

Alfa S14 (15 AWG / 2x1.4 mm2), Alfa S25 (13 AWG / 2x2.5 mm2), Alfa 36 (12 AWG / 2x3.3 mm)

does anyone know why Alfa 36 Is cheaper than Alfa S25

 

- Neotech STDCT 12 Hook Up wire - 12 AWG or 3.3 mm2 UP OCC PTFE

 

- Kabusa Spiral Voice speaker cable using Cardas 2 x 11.5 AWG ultra pure copper litz wire

Neo tech solid core...ugh stiff.Great stuff though.Solid core is a quicker "prat" to my experience,but i found i liked strand for more "relaxed" tone/timber.System dependent imho.TRY is the only way to know.

Cotton inert?...

@sasho reach out to Chris (vh audio). He is a dealer for both furutech and neotech. His recommendations are always spot on.

Does anyone tried Furutech Alpha 36 or S25 bulk wire. Please share experience.

Do you recommend one of these for rewire of speaker woofer section - aim Is to obtain tight and fast bass.
