Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?

I love my Syn. Rsrch. Tesla Apex speaker cables. I had a pair of Resolution Ref 0.5 speaker cables for quite a while and really liked them, nice and balanced with sweet but complete highs, great texture, and superb controlled bass.
The Apex builds on all these qualities a great deal, with more definition in the mids, a fuller but just as super-controlled transparent bass, and also sweet non-fatiguing highs.

Hifinut604,
Thank you for clarifying this. You are right when you differentiate between the really high end and the mid end. But for me, the mid end is also becoming out of reach the way things are going with fast-paced marketing. So it comes down to the same thing for me. I just cannot afford to keep "up trading" as SR calls it. The loss is unsustainable with each "up trade". If they offered an upgrading program, that would be a different story, as you rightly point out.

I agree with you completely about holding back bringing new products to market and giving loyal customers the opportunity to upgrade. You hit the nail on the head in both instances here. IMO.

Glory,
Your point is noted. And appropriate, IMO. Through all of this, having spent a very substantial amount of money on SR products, and watching the pace of bringing new products to market, and watching how SR responds to what we are saying here, I also find it sad that they are not able to be more understanding and bring to the table a solution that would make a heck of a lot of their loyal customers very happy. It would take a special effort on their part to do so, granted, but I believe they would be rewarded many times over -- in terms of goodwill as well as the bottom line. I personally do not believe they have reached the threshold of "more than fair" -- yet.

Glory, grow up. Just about every high end company has new models that aren't upgradable. Wilson, Shunyata, Audience, etc. The real issue here is YOUR compulsion to feel the need to buy new models. I still enjoy my 2009 Synergistic cables without the need to "upgrade".

Sabai - your posts have a couple of things confused. As a long time S/R customer/user, I have taken advantage of their Passport Protection program to trade up to new technology on a couple of occasions. I find this to be a terrific program and one of the few that allows you to trade up for different (type of) products. For example, you can trade an older power cord towards a new set of interconnects, something that few manufacturers allow you to do.
The Telsa Challange is NOT the same thing - the Telsa Challange allows you to try S/R cables in your system and compare the performance of their cables to whatever else you have in your system.
Yes, Synergistic has lots of new models/products and I have always found the newer products to be improvements over the previous products. That does NOT mean that the cables you already have or own no longer sound great, just that something better has come along and that Synergistic has made that happen. I don't quite understand why that is cause for complaint? We tend to moan and complain when "new and improved" is used only as marketing-speak and now you ( and others) complain when substantial improvements in performance by new models occurs. Upgrade when you have the urge and/or the money and enjoy what you have invested in previously until then - this is supposed to be FUN.
