Excellent build quality, extremely smooth and lightning fast.

Well made, nice banana plug terminations

somewhat fragile owing to it's flat ribbon like construction

The Nordost Blue Heavens are very good speaker wires. They are easy to connect and disconnect with the Nordost Z banana plugs, which establish a firm connection, never becoming loose on their own. The wire is light-weight, and very flexible. Be careful because it can crease easily, distracting from it's nice appearance. There are no adverse electrical properties having to do with the inductance, resistance, or capacitance. The wires are capable of very good transfer of the audio signal with no audible deleterious effects. My system sounded very nice through these wires. These wires are at the lower end of Nordost's line of upscale wires, but in comparison to the SPM and the Red Dawns, are a real bargain, and function just as well.
