none

stiff, stiff, stiff

I did not notice any improvement sonicaly over the other cables that I was using. But the main problem is that the wire is so stiff. This makes it difficult to get a good clampling when using the binding post and its almost impossible to get a good grip using screw on banana plugs as the wire constantly slips out. Because I did notice any impovements and the unfriendly nature of the cable I would not recommend it. The Clara is much better buy.

For a relatively inexpensive speaker cable the Omni is not all that bad, but not perfect. However, it certainly outperforms any cables I've used up to and including its price.

The only problem is that the cables are very stiff. The construction uses several low gauge strands of copper bundled together, and whilst this is sonically superior to both fine multi-strand and simple single strand cables, it is difficult to make a really solid mechanical connection to the amp output terminals & speaker input terminals.

If you are using the Omni, best results are obtained by soldering a good pair of spade connectors (WBT or Kimber) to the amp ends, and using tight banana plugs or soldering spade connectors to the speaker ends. Don't even think about just crimping the bare wires into binding post holes - the mechanical connection is terrible due to the stiffness of the cable.

I'd agree in general with the perception that these cables are best suited to an otherwise bright, forward system.
