I tried the Townshend isolda briefly in my system and preferred the Galileo SX Speaker Cables.
That said the Galileo cost much more....
I use the Townshend fractal rca interconnect for my digital connection to my preamp and these speaker cables have similar qualities in my system.
It’s an excellent speaker cable for transparency and soundstaging but is a bit cool.
I am running a tube amp albeit a VAC 200IQ which is not a warm tube amp and even on vinyl it sounded a little cool....
I have a super transparent Marten Bird 2 speakers so likely was too much of a good thing in my system
However if you have speakers that are a little warm and lean to a deeper or richer sound and running tube amp these speaker cables would likely be an awesome combination. If your preamp and amp are tubes it may also be ideal speaker cables...
Bottom line it’s excellent but proper system matching essential.
Townshend makes fantastic products so encourage auditions as the interconnect is especially a steal at its price and the allegri reference preamp which I also own is one of the best preamp I have ever heard [dartzeel still better but again cost way more]
