I was wondering if anybody has experience with these cables? How do they compare to some standard say Kimber 8tc (which I have tried in my system). Or VH audio Chela (another cable I am looking at).

Speakers are Spatial audio X3's https://www.spatialaudio.us/xseries/x3
Would need 8ft pair.

I'd be more interested in Neotech Nemos speaker cables PartsConnexion just started carrying. OCC rectangular copper cable. They also have the interconnect version.

That Neotech looks very interesting too! I wonder how easy it is to terminate the flat cables. Any idea?

A quick followup: I noticed that the Neotech Nemos is quite similar to the Wirewold mini eclipse cable. So I ordered the mini eclipse (they have a 3-week return period). I found it noticeably inferior to my current Kimber 8TC. My wife picked it out too ("that one's much worse", she said within a couple minutes).

System: Bricasti M1SE -> Folsom 7293 amp -> Spatial Audio X3.
Music: classical. Allowed 70-80 hrs of burn-in.

(Note: the X3 has a powered woofer to cover frequencies below 100hz, so it presents a light load to the amp.)

Ordered the Furutech cables from VH Audio. Will post in a few weeks how they sound.
