I owned the .7's and loved them, just couldn't do them justice in my small place. Anyway, I used the Anti-Cables and found them just fine. I have also used Blue Jean Cables with pleasing results. Personally, I feel that there is a lot of, let's say, hyperbole out there about cables. I never felt compelled to go into the lunatic fringe with them. Anti-Cables are very simple, very stiff which some people like but I don't. However, many Maggie owners use them and are very happy. Oh, and the price is real world....
