Does anyone have any experience with this company and their speaker cables?  I have purchased their interconnects in the past, but I am looking at a speaker upgrade that will require bi-wiring, and am considering purchasing a set of their reference cables. 

If not, can someone suggest a set of 10 ft. cables in the $500 range?

Thanks.

15' pair.....very reasonably priced as well.


Moke....I'm partial to purple cables as well.  I have no idea why but if I have my choice of cable colors IMHO purple looks best.  ;D

Anyone heard from Marc (leegeddy) this past week? I sent him a PM about some cables, but haven't heard back in a while. Perhaps he's on vacation.
