Kimber 12TC is very good. I liked mine. I traded it in toward a pair of Transparent Plus bi-wire. Auditioned them in the store and it was extremely close. The Plus was a bit smoother on top I thought (so did the salesman), but the difference wasn't huge. I think the cosmetics tipped things more than the sound; the 12TC stood out a bit too much visually given how the rest of the system looks. But make no mistake: I'd buy 12TC again, depending upon the system. I was using two pair to bi-wire my speakers; on the amp end one pair was spades, the other bananas. Both pair were bananas on the speaker end.
