These are specially calibrated to the very low Devialet output impedance and the Wilson Sasha 2. They can be recalibrated by Transparent if need be.
These are the latest Gen 5 and according to reviewers get very close to the performance of Gen 4 Opus.
The lengths are 5M LHS, and 1.5M RHS with bananas at the amp end and spades at the speaker end. So perfect if your Devialet sit to the right of your right speaker.
Please contact me if interested and we can discuss pricing.
Absolutely incredible sound with the Devialet. This is a unique opportunity to acquire these at a reduced price.

Sorry to be a bit OT here, Guillaume. I could never afford these beasts, and it must make sense from a financial point of view to only have as much as you need, but I have a question. Having different lengths of speaker cable, do you notice any difference in SQ between the channels? Do you have to compensate with the balance control? In my system, the amp sits near the left hand speaker, while the right hand one is three meters away. I was told to keep the lengths of speaker cable the same to avoid any mis-match in sound from each speaker.

No need to compensate these are according to Transparent optimised for the different lengths. Whether you believe that is possible or not is a different matter.
There wasn't much of a price difference between the different lengths, because my speakers are quite wide apart having 5M on one side is a bit of a faff and an eyesore.
Regarding different lengths it was recently pointed out to me that the signal travels at 300KM/sec and 70% of speed of light, so if we are talking just a few metres...
Guillaume
If I were a dedicated speaker cable seller, I would of course advise you to the same length .....
At a difference of 4m, the signal arrives at the LS on the longer cable to 0.0000000133 seconds later.

Well quite! Now who is going to take these off me?! Do I need to offer cash back or something?!

This is a final attempt to sell these cables on here. I am now prepared to accept £4,000, that’s less than a quarter of what I paid for them. These are one level below Opus in the Transparent hierarchy.
They are literally sitting in a box in my loft, which is a dreadful waste.
My plan is to put them on eBay in a few days’ time.

Hello, is the cable still available?
