Could not agree more with B.R.M. I recently snagged a pair of twelve footers. I truly only needed 10 footers but these rarely pop up so I pulled the trigger. Build quality is magnificent. Sonically, my system has been transformed. I can honestly state that I have jumped off the speaker cable merry go round thanx to these. I also use the RCA interconnects as well but feel the transformation is less with them, but still extremely satisfying. Now on to a tip that I just have to share. The WAF on these can be very negative due to the two separate large diameter wire runs per channel. Low and behold, I found the greatest, simplest cable dressing that almost seem made to order for these or any other thick cables. I am speaking about the large sized multipurpose cable clips by "blueLounge". They are made of a flexible elostomeric rubber material that spreads open enough to route each single the cable through. Each one has a right and left side. Sadly, they only come in two colors, white and "grey" (the grey is more of a taupe shade to my eye). They are available at Staples @ $9.99 for a two pack or $7.99 at Walmart.com. I bought 7 sets to place every 1.5 feet on each cable and this "joins" both cables together to run side by side very neatly...Enjoy & Good luck! Jeff "Mooncrikit"
