Has anyone demoed Audio Teknes cables?


I saw a pair of these for sale and the seller claimed they were better than ensemble dynaflux.... I was considering purchasing Dynaflux so an opinion would be appreciated.

Thanks

I haven't tried the Dynaflux, but I have used the Audio Tekne ICs and speaker cables for some time now, and have no plans of changing. The ICs and cables have very similar sonic qualities, which I would describe as very clear, neutral, and fast with good extension at both extremes. No discernable embelishment or vacancies, at least in my system and to my ears. The bass performance is surprising for such a dimunitive cable. I would not call them laid back, though there are probably some cables that are more dynamic as Gagjmusic noted. I've used them both with dynamic speakers (Aerial 10T's) and laid back speakers (Khorus) and I found the Audio Tekne satisfying in each system. Also, the Audio Tekne build quality is not the best I've seen (maybe the newer ones are improved?), and the speaker cables have little spades which can be a problem for some gear. Even so, they sound great and can be had pretty cheap on the used market. Happy shopping
