A lot of people buy them. I think mainly for the pretty colors.  But not very highly rated.  Here's some reviews from www.audioreview.com.  That website is a very helpful resource when deciding on A/V equipment and accessories.

Canare 4S11 is very popular for a DIY project.  I run a set and love them.  Here's the review on them.

I run a bi-amp system with 8tc but did not in fact by them for the pretty colours.  True, I bought them at dealer cost which always tends to sway a bit but the research that I had done on this cable at the time(almost 10 years ago) had shown alot of favor to this particular wire.  Having had a chance to listen to it on the same speakers as I had and similar amplification, this cable had a very transparent and very musical quality to it, something that is not for everyone but personally what I was after for my system at that time. 

There is a shitload of cable on the market and it's the same old thing, trust your ears.  Hopefully you can find someone who can lend you a few pairs that you can demo and make your mind up as to what works best in your system.

Someone has a cable library where you can rent and return cables with the rental fee being applied to purchase.  Try usedcable.com or fatwyre.com, they might be the ones.
