for the Copper PP and SE speaker cables

I am using the PP (push pull) on the woofers and SE (Single Ended) on the Tweets/mids on some Axiom M60 speakers. The difference in the two cables being the amount of copper. The build quality really is exceptional. I was pleased to see that the cables came with un-plated copper spades made by Cardas. After only about half a day these cables were clearly going to stay in my system. They have a very neutral tonal balance that is extended on both ends. Don't let the small gauge bias your judgement, these cables have the best bass I have heard in my system. It is punchy, extended and detailed. The sound is very natural and has clarity and detail in spades. When I first listened critically (about 6 hours in) nothing stood out. They didn't blow me away by anything they were doing. This was a good thing, as when something "catches" my attention on first listen, it usually ends up being a distraction in the long run. After only a week they are very open sounding, but will probably continue to improve in this regard. The RAM Toshiba can deliver a beautifully layered sound and the Guerilla cables seem to take this a step further.

Product Weakness: none
Product Strengths: Natural, full bodied and detailed. Great value.
