Hi Matt,
I've never used KimberKable, but I've been using Shunyata Venom speaker cables for about 3 years now, and I have been very, very happy with them. They brought a very notable improvement to the speaker cables I was using previously. They are all copper and very natural-sounding, clean, quiet, and musical. They are exceptionally well-made, durable, attractive, very flexible & easy to route. They have a novel termination system called STIS (Shunyata Termination Interchange System-?) so that either banana plugs or spades or a mix of both can be used. And, if your components or needs change, you can swap between bananas and/or spade terminations very easily.
Looking online at retail pricing, a 5M pair of Venom speaker cables have an MSRP of approximately $1180; 15 feeet of Kimber 12TC is ~$1350, so you'd likely save a coupla hundred bucks. If you reach out to Ivan, I'm sure he will quote you a good price & can place an order for the length required.
Cheers!
