well if price isnt taken intto consideratio. monster.

almost everyone makes a decent sheilded twisted pair that 99% of people couldnt tell the difference however

if i were out seeking high end cables, i would snag these guys:

they are not cheaply made ask Stipud he has my old set.

I would put them up against any other cable at 3 time the cost.

Agreed, the Knus are amazing value for dollar. Great construction, very solid, and definitely look the part.

if they dont offer the eKs line in the UK LMK and i will ship them out.

the krystals are on the same lines as stingers dream series only better made as the assembly is better and wont fall apart like the stingers will and did.

The IXOS stuff has been tested head to head with every major brand, they had a promo that they did when they first came out where they tracked down previously sponsored vehicles and would offer the installer their time in labor $ if they swapped all power and signal cable out in the cars with no gain, but if there was a gain they kept the cable and ate the time invested.

average gains where >3db in overall output with a 3-10% loss in idle noise-floor.

The product is that good.
