I'm a beleiver in good quality speaker wires, just not fanatic about it ...
So I'm passing thru Circuit City and they have a demo station set up for Monster speaker wire. You can switch between a 50 ft spool of their wire and one of some scrawny generic wire and hear the difference. But what caught my eye is how much the little generic spool resembled an inductor! The spool spindle looked to be no more than 3/4" diameter, so I'm sure its doing a decent 6db / octave starting at some fairly low / mid frequency. The monster cable spindle had to be about 3 inches in diameter. So even if there is nothing else hidden behind the curtain, it doesn't seem honest. (Don't even get me started on Monster HDMI cables
But there is a real question in here:
I'm all out of my last bundle of good quality speaker wire (purchased years ago) - whats your favorite, reasonably priced recommendation?
