Kimber 8TC or NBS King/Serpent speaker cables


I'm running a Krell 400 integrated and Vienna Acoustic Beethoven Concert Grands. I very recently bought both new and didn't get speaker cables at the time. I've been using junk spearker cable for a month since I made the purchase. I'm looking at the Kimber 8TC or a used pair of NBS King/Serpent v2.

I hear a lot of good things about the specific 8tc Kimber Kable and although I can't find much feedback on the NBS cables I know they were really expensive when they were new (8' 1600.00?)(on sale now for 400.00)and just because they're a few years old I assume they haven't worn out. They're in good condition I just don't know anything about the brand except that they're sort of exclusive and generally everything they make is really expensive.
Please keep in mind that my price range is around 400.00
Thanks for any feedback.

Palerider and Ryder's posts above are absolute opposite ends of the opinion spectrum re the Kimber Kable 8TC speaker cables, which is what keeps this hobby so disconcerting. One guy calls it London Smog and the other calls it a Giant Killer. For what it is worth, I just got the 8TC and it removed all traces of smog from my system. Sounds now coming out of my Magnepan 20Rs unlike any that I have ever heard before. Transients, attack and decay of notes etc to absolutely die for. Go figure...??
Tried many different cables over the years, long, short, all flavors and price points and the 8TC just lets the music flow - period. I have really expensive gear and the 8TC is as good as it it will ever get, whatever the $$$$ you might want to spend IMHO. Anything else is just a tone control, changing system synergy or tonal flavor. Only caveat is to get pro termination that are oxygen free connectors.
