Bearlabs I/C performed better in my (ss) system than the quattro-fil (Nordost): better tonal balance, lower and clearer in the bass and, importantly, the upper register is clear, natural-sounding (i.e a triangle is indeed that) and well extended without being shrill @ 10-15kHz. I also use the speaker cables on the mids & tweeters.
The Valhalla speaker cable performs better on my system -- admittedly, by a small margin on the upper register (it is slightly more pronounced). BUT, more expensive by a very large margin, and Bearlabs are reasonably priced -- but not a cheapo cable!
Bearlabs still (I think) have a trial policy, so why not try before you buy... as Dkuipers says, cables are system and ears dependent! I'd be interested in your findings if you do try them...
Cheers!
