Analysis plus ova 9‘S vs. Kimber cable 8tc’s.

I’m going to buy some new speaker cables and the two above are what I’ve narrowed it down to. My amp is a McIntosh MC452 and my speakers are Aerial 7t’s. Right now I have bjc 10 ga. I’m not interested in other cables that are twice as good for half the price. It’s way too confusing and these are the price range cables that seem to have great reviews. Also should I bi-wire or not? Thanks in advance for the help.

I have the newer version of the oval 9’s. I think they are great. I owned Nordost speaker cables previously and in every way the oval 9’s do a better job for me. I’ve had the Kimber in a bedroom system years back and thought they were good too, but choosing between the 2, my preference is the oval 9’s.

After changing these cables several times over the last few weeks, I’ve settled on the oval 9’s. Like I said before both sound good but the oval 9’s were just a little better to my ears.

I'm a fan of Analysis Plus also.Kimber is more 'sterile ' sounding in direct comparison to my ears.I have a Solo Crystal ic of theirs that I really like.As soon as I dropped it in my system I was like "Sigh...yes,this is the one.It just lets the beauty of the music flow." Enjoy!
