Will I hear differences between 8TC and 12TC?

Can I expect to hear differences between Kimber Kable 8TC and 12TC speaker cables if I am using relatively small, efficient bookshelf speakers?

B&W DM602 S3's, to be exact.

And if I compared 8TC and 12TC in single, internally biwired runs?

I currently have an 8 foot pair of internally biwired 8TC speaker cables, which I like the sound of, but my final curiosity is if I'd hear improvements in the 12TC, especially because my 8TC is internally biwired, ie only half is powering the woofer / midrange.

If you didn't see, I gave you an answer but it was on your other thread. I didn't see this one until after I posted.

AB comparing cables i guess is substantially easier than speakers.
Both are great choices and just the right one will do the trick.

The difference between 8TC and 12TC is extremely small, if even detectable.

I sold a lot of Kimber in the past. These days I seldom sell it. Because Audioquest is a big step further. They need to improve there cables. They still make nice cables, but often you can get better ones for the money. It also depends about your speakers and length if te 12TC will be better.

Bo1972, which Audioquests do you find to be in a similar price range but worth considering over the white/clear 8TCs?
