Quad runs of WE16 and WE14 continue to break-in and hit their stride over here. They are a bargain and very likable because they are musical and commit no fatal flaws. I find them "mellow" in the HF but natural, even if they are not as "pristinely clear" sounding or quite as extended as the best OCC wires I have here. They continue to add a bit of warmth/body from the upper midrange through the bass, which adds to their musicality and which I find to be a good thing. Bass with these wires is full and powerful, with just the right amount of bloom. The bass on Alice in Chains Unplugged is sounding perfect.
Next I am going to throw even more wire at another pair of cables and make a bi-wire set from the WE 10 awg that I purchased as twisted pairs. I plan to use a twisted-quad run for the LF (i.e., 7 awg) and a twisted pair for the MF/HF.
This may be the same WE 10 awg wire that TWL is using to make their American Series speaker cables, based on their literature indicating they use 210, 30 awg wires, which is 7 awg and would result from two 10 awg wires, assuming they are running quads of the 10 awg wire. If you order bi-wire cables, they use separate 7awg runs to both the LF and the MF/HF...that is a lot of wire!
One reason I think using more wire sounds good in my system is that I am running a very high current amplifier compared to Yazaki-san and his crew, Jeff Day and the folks at Shun Mook Audio, who are using the WE16 wire in twisted pairs between lower powered amps and high efficiency speakers. I am not surprised I like more wire since my system throws a lot more current to the speakers...different strokes.
