| Best Speaker cable in the $400.00-$500.00 range for 2 meters I drove my Avalon Eidolen speakers with a Rogue amp connected via several cables until I settled on AntiCables. Serious bang for the buck.(I subsequently replaced the Rogue with an Ayon Triton amp, but kept the cables.) | |

(I’d like shorter cables, but I am otherwise delighted with my setup.) The A... | |
