Has anyone tried out new Mapleshade speaker wires

Has any one tried out the new Mapleshade speaker wires? and if so what is you listening impressions? as their pricing is quite reasonable and how do the PLUS versions sound? I know Mapleshade recommends single wiring but my speakers are at their best bi-wired as they should be. The community's help would be welcome.

I would like to hear some input on this also, particularly on their Plus versions of the Clearview Double Helix speaker cable, the Clearview Excalibur Ribbon interconnects, and the Clearview Double Helix MKII power cords. Thanks.

I want to bump this back onto the screen since I too am interested in Mapleshade's speaker cables. In particular, I am wondering about their Golden Parallel for my rears since they will need to be 45-50 feet long.

no, but I am very curious as their theoier make sense yet have many research claims. I have excellent background in math and physics and am curious by it. Never tried the electronic. I like the silclear and the spray (optix?) , but the polish is too turtlrwax (and intentionally similar I believe. My point tho is if you run mapleshade from the front page you will find some products. I saw a couple wires of various type on sale, including some inexpensive versions that I may even try to at least get a feel for their product. And please post results. May even want to cantact some of the sellers even if not the precise product you are considering. If you know their line already, and it sounds like more than I, I apologize if I sounded arrogant when I know shi...about their cables. Bon chance. Ed

I have a friend that is using their speaker wires and he is very happy with them. I think they are decent wires for the money, however they seem to fall short in that last 10% of "Magic" us Audiofools seem to constantly be seeking.

Example, the Soundstage is there but not really vast or deep, imaging is decent but has some smearing. Also, they seem to lack a little slam and dynamics. At least for me.

They seem to be somewhat similar to the Speltz Anti-cables...at least from the info provided on the website.

However, the Mapleshade wire is silver plated copper. For some reason I was under the impression that plating copper with silver was for oxidation protection and not that great for sonics...but I don't know that to be true for myself.
