Review 1 of 2

Summary:
My system currently consists of a Classe SSP-25 pre/pro, Classe CA201 (and CAV75 for home theater)amp,Toshiba 5109 progressive scan DVD/CD player, and Theil 2.3 main speakers.
With this setup, the Kimber Select 3033's were able to get the most focus/detail from the music and at the same time sound musical and smooth, never harsh. Air around the sound is terrific, and soundstaging depth and intricacy is phenomenal--no other cable I tried could come close in this respect. As the Theils are very revealing (and outstanding)speakers, I wanted something that would bring out their musicality without adding any brightness to the sound. The Kimber Select 3033's do this better than any other cable I tried. As the previous reviewer stated, the 3033's do handle dynamics very well--you may not realize how much dynamic punch you've been missing in the music, until you try them! When listening to music, I become lost in the enjoyment!

Strengths:
Best combination of focus, musicality, and smoothness I've heard in my system.

Weaknesses:
Expensive!

Review 2 of 2

Summary:
There are three things I can say about these cables since I upgraded from Kimber 8TC:
1) They are huge, not so much cables as hawsers with a design reminiscent of a large snake
2) Their dynamic slam, especially in mid bass, is marvellous and really brings music to life. Snare drums have bite, trumpets really snarl.
3) Their ability to project female voice and choral music at high volumes without break-up is unlike any other cable I've used.
Recommended if you can afford them.

Strengths:
Fantastic dynamics, transparency, deep bass extension

Weaknesses:
Expensive

Sanders Sound 10b Speaker Review

No, you can’t always get what you want. The number of loudspeakers surpassing the cost of a decent family sedan is staggering. Then there are speakers that cost as much as a house.
