This listing is misidentified: the Kimber Kable AXIOS CU 1 is a headphone cable, not speaker cables, so the €1,190 price is hard to benchmark against a “speaker” market. New AXIOS CU 16-wire (1.5m) retails around $791–$845 (≈€730–€780), and used Axios copper/silver hybrids have appeared near $1,100 (≈€1,010). At €1,190, this is above typical new pricing for the copper-only version and only modestly below the hybrid’s used peak—ambitious unless it’s a rare custom length, original-owner pristine condition, or includes a substantial accessory bundle.
The AXIOS CU is well-regarded for its smooth, natural copper voicing with 16-wire OFE conductors braided for low noise and flexibility, handcrafted in the USA. If this truly is a long or custom-length run (e.g., 3m+), rarity could justify the premium; otherwise, it’s a fair-to-ambitious ask for a copper-only cable. Verify length, condition, and whether it’s the HB (hybrid) variant before committing.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Kimber Kable traces its roots to 1979, when Ray Kimber founded the company in the United States after working at a Los Angeles sound and lighting firm in the mid-1970s. Frustrated by noise interference in professional disco installations, Kimber experimented with braided wire designs to counter RFI and EMI without shielding. Hand-braiding his first speaker cables proved transformative, not only rejecting noise but enhancing audio fidelity, prompting him to launch the brand as a pioneer in high-end cabling.
The company specializes exclusively in audiophile cables, including speaker wires, interconnects, and power cords, eschewing amplifiers, speakers, or source components. Its signature technologies—such as Varistrand conductors blending varied strand diameters, GyroQuadratic braiding, and high-purity copper or silver with Teflon insulation—minimize loop area and antenna effects for superior neutrality. Precision terminations and robust builds underscore a commitment to durability and performance.
Kimber Kable holds a venerable position in the high-end audio market, revered for over four decades as a boutique innovator among discerning buyers. While pricing sparks debate, its proven noise-rejection geometry, worldwide dealer networks, and comprehensive warranties affirm its status as a trusted choice for systems demanding transparency and longevity.
