Anybody knows about NBS cables?

Can sombody comment on the 'sound' of the Monitor series cables? I'll looking at Silver Audio Appassionata (a bit bright, but dynamic)but changing slowly) and Harmonic Tech Prosilway Mk II (great midrange warmth), and wonder how'd the Monitor I,II,III,IV and Statement would compare...

Avalon used to use NBS I believe. Now they use FIM. FIM PCs ICs and speaker cable are on a higher level of performance than anything NBS has made. Slawney mentioned Coincident and I agree with his opinion. As good as the Coincident cables are they are no where near the performance of FIM.

Please educate me. What is FIM? Brulee, for context of opinion, what is your system? Thank you.

Soblast, I am intriged by your statment that Harmonic Tech Pro Silway Mk 2 has great midrange warmth. That is the exact opposite of my experience with it and I consider it to me its greatest weakness. What system are you using these with?

I also tried the best Harmonic Tech, XLO, WireWorld and Tara. I don't think any of them had, overall, what the Mon 3s have. The NBS have over 200 hours on them and I'm most satisfied with what I'm hearing--they just keep getting better. And yes, they're spendy, but I belive they're verymuch worth the investment and probably the best NBS value for the buck. I also auditioned the Mon 3 power cords. They add even more of the NBS "non-sound," but we're buying a new house--I'll now have a dedicated listening room--and audio upgrades are on the back burner.
