Metaphysics: Are you guys kidding from absolute sound? Would you people out there buy a BMW for $90,000. and then buy 4 new tires for $130,000. so it would ride even smoother. I think not, the michelins that come with it are fine. This is the exact ratio that they are trying to sell to us on cables with your speakers. These people get caried away from REALITY. You can't put an exact % of cost on cables because each company make differant kinds that look and sound better to you than others. But a fair rule of thumb to start would be 10%-20% of your speakers. Your quality of products are #1 or the best cables in the world won't help if you own cheap goods. Let your eyes & ears choose for you, just because it is expensive doesn't mean it's the best.
Cables that cost more than the speakers?
I was reading TAS tonight and noticed that several of their recommended systems utilized speaker cable that retails more than the speakers or amp to which they were connected. One was using the Purist Dominous and another the Kimber KS3038. These are both GREAT cables, but it seems strange to me to hook up a $13k cable to $9.5k speakers.
I guess there will be those that say "Whatever sounds best.", but it is still strange. Does anybody here have a similar SC to speaker ratio? FYI: I'm using Kimber KS-3033s ($2200) with my Talon Khorus($14k).
