Kimber Kable 8VS Speaker Cable

"Quality and Value Speak Loud and Clear" – Stereophile

Kimber Kable 8VS speaker cable has double the number of conductors as Kimber's best selling 4VS. It provides a nice upgrade in performance and is an amazing value for the price.

"…While the Kimber 4PRs had brought those [musical] subtleties back to life, the 8VS cables presented them with even greater urgency, drama, and purpose," notes Stephen Mejias in Stereophile for July 2012. "The quality and value of Kimber Kable's products speak loud and clear."

Kimber 8VS consists of eight gray and eight black conductors, arranged in a large format braid. The conductors feature VariStrand conductor geometry and are drawn from ultra-pure copper. The aggregate wire size is two 9 awg conductors. The smooth power and authority of 8VS make it a great match for full range speakers, subwoofers, and the low frequency section of bi-wired loudspeakers.

High Quality Termination

Kimber Kable's standard SPD 1/4" spade connector provides a high quality connection that is far superior to cheap gold-plated spade connectors.

Kimber SBAN is a good banana plug, both mechanically and electrically. It is convenient, affordable, and sounds very good. You can expect years of worry free performance from this classic 4mm plug.

"I was surprised to hear Omar say that the 8VS was 'cheap' and the 4PR 'super cheap,' but I guess I shouldn't have been – the quality and value of Kimber Kable's products speak loud and clear."
