Your jaw dropping cables

1M & 3M Teo balanced XLR-XLR cables - for two reasons:

1. Unexpectedly involving musical performance in a number of areas.

2. At $5,000 for a 1M pair and $17,0000 for a 3M pair, jaw-dropping is a totally inadequate description of my reaction when I heard the price.

They say Teo speaker cables can reach $50,000. Sadly, that is NOT a typo.

I had not heard about these cables until I read another thread on Audiogon. $50,000 ...wow! I'd like to hear these for myself! Anyone know of any stores that carry these in Toronto, eh?

Any of his creations whether it is his Power cables, interconnects or Paul Kaplan's digital cable. Smooth as silk with heft and sparkling highs.

Hornguys, regarding your point #2, actually the Teo Audio Standard Mk II balanced interconnects are $4200 for 1m and $11,000 for 3m respectively. Jawdropping for sure, but don't want to exaggerate :) The RCA single ended versions are less, and there are three models under the Standard.

You don't want to hear the speaker cables :)

Why wouldn't you want to hear the speaker cables Essential? Are they bad or simply "pricey"?
Now I REALLY want to try these out for myself! Just bought my cables (Acoustic Zen) and they are fine for my needs but this talk of "jaw dropping cables" has me intrigued!
I do wonder if there are any stores (in Ontario) that carry these in order for me to listen to them for myself.
