Like Ejlif I found the quattro fil to be a bit on the sterile side and found the AZ Reference to better it in a some areas specially the bottom end. The AZ reference cables are really one of the best cables in it's price range in my opinion,does wonders on solid state gears.
In my system it sounded too laidback though that's why I sold them.
I heard the Valhala speaker cables briefly at Sanctuary of Sound and at the time Stewart had it hooked up on a Red Rose Mono tube amps and Talon Khorus X with Mephisto II CD player, and that was one of the best setup's I've ever heard.
My point is the AZ refs are great cables but the Nordost Valhala's are one of the few elite cables at the top of the heap.
just my 2 cents.
