Christian,
I'm a firm believer that cables are system dependent. Remember I'm comparing the WW Platinum series 8 to the AQ Fire and WW series 7(at least what I can remember), not AQ WELs. I added another WW Platinum and in my system the imaging, soundstaging, and tonality of instruments with the WW Platinum is a definite step forward over the Fire. Remember the WW Platinum and AQ Fire list price are the same, while the WELs is more expensive. To my ears the Fire sounds a little cleaner, but doesn't come close to the WW regarding differentiation of height and spacing between singers and instruments. No absolutes, this is what I hear on my system.
I'm so impressed with the series 8, I'm going to try the WW Gold Eclipse speaker cables, the Platinum is a little too steep for me.
