Such an elaborate design and look how much aesthetic touch its got on the exterior.

Hundreds of dollars on a piece of cord will buy you the psychologically induced high quality audio that is probably physically the same as the sound you get from using 8 AWG commercial wiring wires you can buy from electrical supply houses.

Don't link to pdfs you feeping newbie!

gah

You want to see some speaker cables for the truly crazy?

Transparent Cable Opus MM

MSRP: $30,750 per 8' pair.

Uh...
"OPUS MM interconnects and speaker cables are available in tube and solid-state versions."
Am I missing something there?

They have different versions made - one for use with SS and the other for use with Tubed based equipment:

Tubed - amps/monoblocks and pre-amps using those old tubes like way back in history.

SS- basically everything else which mostly uses transistors.

That's what it might as well say. Want to know what the PERFECT speaker cable is?

Right here baby!! $38 for a 100-foot roll.

This is what I use in my HT.

Tis what I use as well...30 feet to each rear, 16 feet left/right, 8 feet center w/banana plugs. Good solid stuff.

I use the Carol Superflex C1364 12 gauge cable from homedepot, comes out to be a little cheaper per foot than the soundking after shipping.

Similar to the 12 AWG Sound king, but almost 1/2 the price, plus has CL rating for in-wall use too.
