Any speaker cable's sound quality just blown you away?

I went "Ga-Ga" over the Nordost SPM's (4 meter bi-wire into Rogers LS 3/5a's with the AB-1 passive subs.) Power is by Atma-sphere M60-Mk 2.2 mono's. The SPM's just seem to have an incredible sense of timing and pace. Maybe there are other cables that have a better bass, mid-range, or treble presentation, but this cable seems to exhibit an overall balance and detailing that presents MUSIC and not just articulated sounds.

I sometimes sound like a curmudgeon on this topic, so please forgive me in advance. First, no cable -- speaker, interconnect, etc. -- should "blow you away". If it "blows you away", it's because it is NOT sounding natural. A truly accurate cable shouldn't have any identifiable sound of its own. Second, I think the price being charged for most high-end speaker cables is obscene. It's WIRE for Pete's sake, not gold-plated latinum! Having made these two points -- and possibly raising the ire of some -- I will respond to your question and say that the best speaker wire I have owned or heard is Kimber Kable 4TC and 8TC. It's the best to my ears because, from what I can tell, it makes virtually no impact on the reproduced sound -- which is exactly what it should do. Ray Kimber for years was one of the few really sane people making high-quality speaker cable and IC's -- and I was sorry to see him jump on the high-priced bandwagon. When it comes to wire, expensive does not often translate into better. I've auditioned a fair variety of high-end speaker cables, and I keep coming back to ole' reliable: Kimber 4TC and 8TC.
