Hi there,

After many conversations with several users of their SCs in Hong Kong, I ended up buying a bulk version of the 58025, as it was explained to me the two lower gauged options offered a better sense of integration | speed, whereas the thicker 54240 comes across as rather slower sonically speaking.

Much like Paul ( R.I.P. ) of Clear Day Cables, would usually determine which of his SCs would be a better selection for one's speakers | solely based upon their efficiency | size of their mid-bass or bass drivers, so in essence for smaller mini-monitor or compact types..., smaller gauge are more than capable of offering low end impact | as well as nimbleness without becoming blogged down if you'll.

Here's one said article of which caught my attention, as posted on Cheaptubeaudio.blogspot.com:

" Loudspeaker Cable "

Thin vs Thicker Cables It is my opinion thicker cables with larger or more conductors usually do not sound as good. This is evidenced by my use of Gotham: over the years, in most applications and with most smaller loudspeakers the Gotham 50010 and 50025 sounded better than the thickest 50040 (10/25/40 are diameters), with better agility, resolution and clarity. Another memory lingers in the mind: with the LS3/5A, the Kimber 4TC sounds a lot better than the 8TC. Current Demands This is the exception. If I run less efficient loudspeakers like ATC or Magnepan, the 50040 would fare better, more composure and dynamics due to better current delivery. Here a Belden 9497 still sounds very good tonally, but you can tell it is reined in (however, better that than runaway, which is how a lot of audiophile cables sound).
