I'm in agrement with you two.

When I went from the 12ga to the Cat 5's soumething sounded muted. That's all I can realy say. It just sounded like something was muted. Went back to the 12ga and everything sounded "right" again. The differance was simmilar from when I went from an 18ga to the 12ga with the gold expanding bannana clips. Some people wouldn't notice a differance, but given the amount of time that I listen to my system...I can tell if something is off, and if something has changed and brings more clarity and detail into the mix.

Like I said, I still cant put my finger on what the differance was, all I know is that something sounded "off" when I used the cat5's.

However I am debating working with a dual 16ga design for bi-wiring that uses a teflon-tape wrap as in insulater.
