I ordered the venom speaker cables and looking forward to seeing how they compare to the Audioquest cv-8 I am currently trying.

CV-8 is 350USD while the Venom is 700USD (looking at MusicDirect). So you might compare apples to pears. They are being discounted... in fact I think they are not produced anymore due to their old design and technology.

That is a good point. I was looking at original msrp, but it looks like they were discontinued a while ago so the technology probably has changed. I am new to this so it will be interesting to listen. The venom might even be more than I should spend given my system. Parasound halo integrated with KEF r300’s.
