    Kimber vs. Chord?

    In the spirit of due diligence, I am continuing to look at speaker cable alternatives to replace the old Monster XPs in my new system. Two good options that are available in bulk here in San Diego for roughly the same price are Kimber 8TC and Chord Odyssey 4. Would be great to hear if anyone has any experience/opinions to share regarding the relative merits of these two.

    A little bit about my new system to help:

    Creek Destiny Integrated
    Music Hall CD25.2
    PSB Synchrony OneB
    Nordost Baldur interconnect
    Speak cable runs are pretty long, about 17 feet from the electronics.

    Thanks in advance!

    Moving the ball forward, I would like to add another cable into the mix:
    Synergistic Tesla Series Alpha Quad. All three of these are about the same price, but I suspect very different in performance. Comments welcome!

    For such a long length, I would be looking at cables that have good RF/Interference rejection capability such as Canare 4S11 "star quad" cables. Its geometry (four conductors) allow for superior noise protection than regular cables.
