Kimber "house sound"
jimbones I had 3035's for a while which are silver and copper.  Never heard the 3033 but was always curious.  I found the 3035 slightly on the warm side of neutral.  They were not a great match between Mcintosh 501's and Thiels, for me anyway.I al... 
Curious How These Nordost Speaker Cables Do What They Do
John unfortunately is spot on! 
Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable?
