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?

These are fantastic, made well and right in your budget; Cullen Cable Crossover. http://http//www.cullencable.com/crossover-series-speaker-cables/ Cheers, Scott |
stereo5 I feel for you. I need 22 foot pairs of speaker cable and the cost is more than my first brand new car. I paid 2500 for my first brand new car in 1971. 47 years later, that 2500 would be more like 5-6K. Whoa! Maybe move the amps closer to the speakers and/or move the speakers closer together. Or look around for a more cost effective speaker cable. Perhaps consider making your own. There are many ways to skin a cat. |
