to replace PB-8 Transparent Plus BiCable

I bought the Transparents back in 2001 for 803 B&Ws.

I still have the same speakers but wondering about replacement with smaller, narrower cables to use in a smaller room.

Has cable technology improved since 2001?
Thanks for your help.

doubtful you will hear that much of a difference if replacing them. Wouldn't waste the money.

Why would you say that? I don't care for B&W myself, but they have more than enough detail to show cable differences.

Gerry123, you should try the current version Transparent Plus Gen5. After a demo compared to what you have...just have the credit card handy...it's not subtle.

It has nothing to do with the B & W speakers. He is asking if he will hear a difference with the newer cable tech and I feel that new or old tech doesn't matter. To change speaker cables just because they are from the 90's does not make sense.
