Hi Steve,
Thanks for your kind words.
I've been leery about recommending wires on this board too for fear of flames.
I like to match up the Kimber Kables on the Axioms. It DOES sound better than regular wires and the Axioms are high enough resolution to show off the differences.
In the shop, I put Kimber 4PR on one speaker and 16g regular wire on the other speaker, put the pre-amp in mono mode and then flip back and forth with the balance control and let the client decide for himself. The difference is quite readily apparent.
For those who doubt, please keep an open mind and try some premium cables if you have the opportunity.
