Experience with the Stage III Gryphon interconnect

I asked to compare interconnect with which I am quite familiar, Townshends, to the Stage III Gryphons. Granted the Townshends are much less expensive. I was hoping that they were close enough to no further bother with the Stage IIIs. No such luck! The Stage IIIs were better in every respect. The sound stage was wider and more encompassing. The bass was much stronger and more defined. Dynamics were much better. And the Stage IIIs were noticeably louder.

I wonder if one pair would get me anywhere? I might be able to rob a bank to buy them. Oh, wait, most banks have no assets.
