AQ Speaker Cables: Gibraltar vs. Mont Blanc?

I am trying to choose between Audioquest's Mont Blanc & Gibraltar speaker cables. The Mont Blanc's have been discontinued, so it's hard to get a read on how they compare. Can anyone give me a sense of which is the better cable?

I am contemplating a single bi-wire set up - quad connectors at the amp & dual at the speakers. Would either of these cables be better suited for this set-up?

Jafant, I use sterling and argent, this are both good, the Sterling has 3D character very very close to dragon, aq are hard to beat in terms of tonal balance.

DBS, the dielectric bias system really does make a difference.  Once you break-in the dielectric, the DBS keeps them in that state even for protracted periods of time where no signal is run through them.  What really opened up my ears to the concept was putting new alkaline batteries in my Colorado's and hearing the soundstage open up immediately.  It was a stunner. Audioquest's designs have continued to evolve over the years...perfect surface conductors, teflon tube dielectric, spread spectrum conductors and now DBS.  It makes me wonder what's next for them.
