Source for Belden 9497 speaker wire?

They presently are, but when I put up the original post back in 2014, they weren't as prevalent.

Just an update, am in the process of acquiring a pair of Mast-Mutter Altec 846A crossovers from a fellow Agon-er and thankfully, he is including his Belden wiring.  So I will get to see how the new crossovers pair with a stock pair Valencia's (which I already consider to be great sounding).

So can I assume you bought some, how do they sound? 

Haven't received the X-overs yet but I hope to have them by mid-January.  I'll run them for awhile and then share my thoughts.

Happy Holidays. 

The very best belden equivalent manufacturer is 1X Technologies Cable Company. 

Much better quality at a really fair price and you can get short runs on a lot of cables.
