Thanks to each of you for great food for thought. My experience to date (one week) with the 9 pair cables is actually very good. They sound MUCH better than the Monster Cable Bi-Wire they replaced but I wanted to be sure I wasn’t missing anything with the smaller wire gauge. The imaging is much improved; especially in the vocals, due to what I believe is improved mid-base clarity. This makes me believe that I am not suffering any problems with bass damping. I listen with and without a sub in the system depending on the music/mood. Even with the full frequency range going to the mains, bass does not seem boomy. The jazz discs with stand-up bass passages sound very natural and image well. A pleasant change from the Monsters. To make sure, maybe what I should try, is to bi-wire with a second set of 9 pair cable and see if I notice any improvement. I am using a 9000ES as a source; Chris VH fine silver interconnects (which are working very well, Chris, review to come soon) a B&K AVR-307 receiver and B&W 804 mains. Audioengr, you really didn’t answer my original question and I would like to have your input. If I indeed have under gauged these cables, what is your opinion on its effect on the sound? Do you agree with Jon that the main problem would be found in the low-end damping which should cause boominess? Thanks again for everyone’s help
