Compare Audioquest Rocket 33 with Kimber Kable 8TC speaker cables

I write to obtain reaction to the contrast between these two speaker cables. Both sets of cables are what I believe is called internal bi-wire--one cable per side, two connectors at the power amp end and four at the speaker end. All have banana connectors. The Kimbers have the blue and black insulation.
I know what I think I am hearing as a contrast, but am interested in comparing my impressions with others of you who know these two cables well.

Many thanks,

George

George-

if you liked the Rocket 33, then, you will enjoy the Rocket 88 cables.

I love Kimber 8TC. It is very revealing.

What are your impressions?

  Well, I was hoping to get some "cold" reactions, but none have been forthcoming, so I will respond to your inquiry.
  
  I prefer the sound from the Kimber Kables. I find it much more detailed and clear. The AudioQuest cables provide what I might call a more blended-together sound. It is round, pleasant, unobjectionable and lacking in the detail I find in the Kimbers.
  
  Best,
  
  George

    What you describe is what I hear between any Audioquest speaker cables and Kimber cables I had chance to use.
    Some AQs I would even call constipated (but not as dull, boring and un-involving like Cardas). If you like one, you probably wont like other, whichever way you go.

    Although I haven't auditioned those specific AQ cables, your impressions mirror my own with respect to the 8TC vs the 3 or 4 AQ's I have auditioned. I really enjoy the clarity from the Kimber.
