Wywires platinum or Wireworld Silver Eclipse, speaker cable

Has anyone done a direct comparison between these two speaker cables? Both are obviously highly regarded and similarly priced. Both are copper but the Wireworld adds a coating of silver. I'm guessing that "similar but different" probably sums it up, but would appreciate hearing from anyone with experience. 

I'm coming from a Siltech MXT New York speaker cable, which I've been using exclusively for 15 years. In that time, I've had no opportunity to try any other cable in my system, though the components themselves have changed several times over. The Siltech is copper supplemented with silver/gold. Do I even need new cables? Has technology changed drastically since 2005?

Cookies?! That could very well be the deciding factor with me.

Truthfully, the Silver or Eclipse series is more realistic for my budget, and I've been told that they are quite close to their most expensive siblings. That's a good idea, to ask Wywires for a demo.

I agree with adg101’s post.  Probably not much help but I have Wywires Silver IC’s in one system and all his PC’s in my primary system, Juice ll.  Many have come and gone through here and the Wywires have been keepers.

Alex is great to work with, I got my cables at the inception of his venture a few years back.  I love what I have however I have never heard any of his speaker cables.
