Speaker cable upgrade

If you decide to experiment with cables, I have had much success with Anti-Cables. They are very cheap, but very, very good in my system. All cables sound different, so you should listen to the various products. I personally didn't think Kimber Monocle was so exceptional...at least in my system. You really want a flat (frequency ) cable..one that presents real music in real time. There are many cables out there that exaggerate various characteristics... that will ultimately be unsatisfactory and you will be looking to change the cables again soon.

For that amount you can upgrade another component(s) in your system.

It would have a far more significant effect than $8500 speaker cables.

IMO

"If it makes sense to you, though, then it should not matter one bit to anyone else..."

Sorry Karelfd, but if someone asks a question of A'goner's about the wisdom of spending $8000 on cables, I think they might be after a little more than that.

Ledinhhien, I suggest you heed Rodman's advice; audition these cables (burnt-in) VERY CAREFULLY against your current cables. Personally, I think $8000 is an absurd amount to charge for speaker wire, even if you have that sort of cash. There would have to a be a distinct improvement to your ears to contemplate such a purchase, and I'd be looking at a few other options.

Just because something "makes sense to you" doesn't mean it's right, which is why many folks use this forum.

It made sense to Hitler to invade Poland too...

Are you in the US ?

Um how about telling us what speaker cables you're using and in what ways you're dissatisfied with them, rather than just telling us they cost $800? Also I'm pretty sure most would agree that there are no cut and dried numbers or ratio's in terms of how much cables should cost versus components. If I could offer just one piece of advise with cables it's to buy used, let someone else pay for their depreciation! Ok one more, listen in your system rather than looking at price tags. With used cables it's very easy to buy, listen, and flip until you get something you really love, and if you are smart and careful you can do this with minimal investment other than the initial purchase. Good luck but most of all happy listening!
