Sebastian, I will have to agree with you also in that Argento do have this rather 'different sonic palette'. I've known and used for a while actually, the Argento cables from way back 15-16 years ago. Looked similar (pearlish white) but with 6 or 8 (forgot) individually insulated soft strands intertwined loosely per side for their speaker cables. Can't remember name, but it was their top cable then. Smooth, mellow, relaxing but rather vague--were what I remembered them to be. Good match with digital stuff during that period.
I swapped them for the flat Siltech FT12 then which I felt to offer greater palpability ie. denser, more solid, organic and life-like timbre with much better control down low and everywhere else. Of course they have both come a long way since then, but I believe/hear designers from both brands still kept consistent with their ideal sound goal/design approach until today, albeit both much improved--you just cannot mistake one from the other.
Maybe the 6moons review below can better express and give a glimpse of what I too felt during my recent speaker cable comparison between the Argento FMR and Siltech King, which to a certain extent--rather similar.
