I think a lot of people who are non-believers in speaker wire are those either have difficulty writing the check or are jealous about those who can. As a result they put down others who can.
That is, sorry to say, a facile and self serving bit of cheap pop psychology. And therefore not surprisingly: wrong.
It's like saying "Those people who don't believe in horoscopes must simply be jealous of those who can pay for having their horoscopes read professionally."
No. They just think it doesn't do what it claims and hence it would be a waste of their money.
I mean, I could reply with: "I think people spending money on expensive audiophile cables are just doing so as a status symbol among other audiophiles. It's just an ego thing."
Does that sound right to you? Or is it just cheap pop psychology from someone not even trying to understand why you believe what you believe?
