I've been using these for about 6 months now and am impressed. I've never subscribed to the hype around very expensive cables as I believe there is a point of diminishing returns. Cable quality is important but should be consistent with the overall quality of your system. $1,000 speaker cables plugged into a $500 amp is probably misspent money. I've been a stereophile for 40 years and have used every speaker cable from lamp cord to borrowed sets well over $1k.My current system is:NAD M66 DAC/Pre-ampNAD M23 Power AmplifierKEF R7 Meta SpeakersKEF KF92 Powered SubwooferRega P6/Ania Pro Turntable/MC CartridgeWith this system I'd experimented with 12 Gauge Monster M3000 Cable, 14 Gauge Micca Cables (very good choice for $40), even the legendary Belden 9497 cables. All sounded excellent, with little difference I could discern. However, the WBC's while being more expensive, have a professional level presentation and quality that is immediately evident when you unbox them and become very revealing after a few weeks of listening. I ordered mine with Eminence Gold Banana Plugs (both ends) & Carbon Tweed Jacket.I don't know that bi-wiring really improves sound quality and that it has been debated endlessly. I do believe it couldn't hurt the sound quality and for what it's worth, looks pretty cool at the rear of the speakers, even drawing glowing comments from friends and family.Note: While very flexible, these 9AWG bi-wire cables are quite large, approximately 3/4" in diameter so, may not route easily in tight spaces. See quarter ($)in photo for scale.In summary, this is about the most I'd ever consider spending on a pair of speaker cables ($229) and I really like them. They sound fantastic, look great, ooze quality with fantastic construction and packaging. Even having them identified as Right/Left channel with specific connections for HF and LF on both speakers is impressive although I don't know if there is any science behind it. If you want a pair of audiophile speaker cables that look and sound the part, you will likely be very happy with World's Best Cable Ultimate, no matter your configuration.Disclosure - I have no affiliation with any company mentioned in this review!

I was using Kimber 8TC’s in bi-wired configuration. I needed something longer for a different cabinet and placement, and found these. They are really good, and they look and feel the part. Clear and sweet, excellent bass, no crud so far, and it’s early in the break-in period. Build quality is outstanding, look and feel is high quality. Definitely give these consideration.My system, for reference: Mac Mini M1 for primary source using Amazon Music and PlexAmp, Cambridge Audio DacMagic 200M DAC/Preamp, Kimber Hero interconnect to NuPrime STA-9 power amp, B&W Nautilus 805 speakers.
