Kimber Kable:Spker Cable: Which offers best sound?

Kimber Kable has produced some excellent speaker cable over the years.

Which model offers the "best overall sound" and is the "best value"....8tc; 12tc; or Monacle I?? Can they effectively compete with other high-end speaker cables from Nordost, Analysis Plus, AudioQuest, MIT, etc, etc??

The 4tc, 8tc and 12tc are the same cables, just with more strands. The difference is sound is more noticeable in the bottom end.

They offer decent value for money but are easily beatable is you spend a little more.

I replaced 4TC Kimbers with Nordost Blue Heaven Revision II Bi- Wires. No better than what I had. Save your money. I only did it because I made money on the Kimbers and got the Nordost for 210.00 2M

To Polk 432, let me ask you to clarify. Is that the NEW LEIF line from Nordost?? If so, well, that is troubling news because I've read bits and pieces that the new LEIF Nordost line is supposed to be superior to the old stuff. Matter of fact. the Nordost rep claimed that the new model called "Purple Flair" (below BH model) may be the best bang for the buck, and comes in approx at $325-370 for 8ft pair. Go figure!!!!
