WW Eclipse 8 vs. Shunyata Delta

[DVass13]

I currently have a pair of Wireworld Eclipse 7 speaker cables that I'm running to my Wilson Sabrinas, but I'm thinking about going in a different, more flexible direction. I previously had a pair of Eclipse 8 cables that I thought were maybe a bit overkill at the time. Now I'm wondering if the more flexible design would be helpful. I'm also curious if something like the Shunyata Delta speaker cables would be a good fit.

Does anyone have any experience comparing the two cables? Assuming I could pick them up for the same price, are there any advantages to one over the other? Ideally, I'd demo both in my system (and I might just do that), but for now I'm curious about others' experiences.

Thanks in advance!

I'd rent them both in and decide. Best way to know. FWIW, I am using Shunyata Delta SPs that I like VERY much. They were an upgrade from the Venom SPs.

If you go with WW, I found the Silver Eclipse to be a BIG step up from the Eclipse. Have both 7s & 8s and the 8 is very much more flexible that are the 7. Being able to listen to both Shunyata & WW in your system would be a big plus.

I recently moved to all Shunyata power cords and added a Denali 6000s V2 to my system. Adding the speaker cables would make my system all Shunyata cords with the exception of a pair of XLR interconnects. It helps that they're currently on sale, too.

I would consider the Silver Eclipse if I could find a pair for more than 50% off retail. I just don't think I could justify the cost of the Silver Eclipse in my system anywhere near their retail. I was able to pick up the regular Eclipse 8 at a decent discount and sold those to move to a used pair of Eclipse 7 because they were supposedly similar in performance to the Eclipse 8 but in a less flexible cable.
