Yes ludicrous is the only word to describe this.
speaker cable prices
I read plenty of articles on the demise of high end audio and have been an enthusiast for 40 years and worked at a high end retail chain for ten years back in the 90's. I still own several systems and buy and sell gear to keep tweaking my systems. Nonetheless I'm pretty shocked at the prices of cables in particular- I look for a decent pair of speaker cables to run from a Pass amp to a good pair of speakers and can hardly find a pair of 8 ft cables for less than $1000- most are commonly 2-3k for a pair of cables.
Is it me or is this ludicrous?
What are people buying for an average pair of cables ? Can a pair be had for $300?

Few buck per foot is just price for speaker cables. $1...5 Everything in excess is just market balloons with snake oil no matter what story or reviews behind specific brand/model -- vanishable to just monetary value that is in excess. No need to know Electrical Engineering or electrical wire properties -- just $ is enough! Pbn shown right choices that are never wrong, only you don't need termination on home audio speaker cables. |
