Not speaker cables and not a very good photo, but it illustrates the tight quarters my WW plain-vanilla Electra 5/2 PC and Equinox 6 IC's contend with. The flat cable that looks like a leather belt is the Electra, which rises behind the massed spaghetti to connect to my line stage after a moderately tight turn.
A second Electra, not shown, connects an Oppo universal player (my digital source) to a Shunyata Hydra, again in moderately tight quarters with no apparent strain on the connectors at either end. If my other components weren't captive-corded, I "Electrafy" them as well. The Electras which I have replaced "vintage" Shunyata Sidewinders.
The somewhat "rounder" Equinoxes are about as flexible, in fact the most flexible quality IC's I've ever owned. (The Eclipses have a flatter profile, and are, along with the similarly-configured SC's, on my want-to-do list.)
