What else sounds like Kubala Sosna?


I have been looking for an interconnect to go between my Theta Gen VIII and Atmasphere MA-1s. I have heard a few cables, and like what I hear from Kubala Sosna. It seems like the most natural sounding cable I have heard, especially with symphonic music. I first heard the Fascination, which sounded very natural, but 2 dimensional. Then I tried Expression, which retained the naturalness, but had a much deeper soundstage. It was really nice, but a bit boring on pop music. I am guessing the Emotion, if as much of an improvement over expression as Expression was over Fascination, would be just right. unfortunately, for the length I want (8 meters), this would cost around $10,000, which is too rich for me. Is there anything else that has similar rich instrument tones, detail, powerful bass, and lack of upper midrange glare for less money?

To me, in the context of my system, the Emotion is just a tad too warm. As always; YMMV.
Yes, in the right system they could be ideal. If the system is leaning toward cool and/or slightly edgy these might do the trick. If your system is neutral to slightly warm, may not be the way to go.
Have not heard new top of line KS cables.
