    Thought about these as well. Did you wind up purchasing them? If so, any thoughts on them?

    No I have not heard much about them since posting.

    I hadn't heard of that. Hardly the most expensive, but certainly not cheap at $90, and only 14 gauge. At least they look fancy.

    OK, I will dive in. . . .

    Did anybody hereabouts ever buy and try these speaker cables?

    I got them yesterday! Couldn't find any info on them either, so here I am.

    They sound detailed, clear and controlled. I can easily hear tambourine in the second verse of Lou Reed's 'Romeo and Juliet' (virtually inaudible on my system with generic 12 gauge cables).

    My only complaint is the lack of bass. My generic cables sound muddy, but the bass is much warmer and 'bigger'. Could be a result of muddiness, of course, but I wonder if Elac Reference Cable (a 12 gauge sister of Sensible Cable). Anyone tried them / compared to 14 gauge Elac Sensible?

    Any warmer cable recommendations maybe? I've heard Rockets are too shiny, and I'd like to stay within the same price range.

    Don't pass final judgement yet. Give them time.

    Have you ended up getting them?

    No I didn't. Ended up going with Canare 4s11 and I like it.
    But you should give those cables at least a month of consistent listening and break in before you pass judgment.
