I think that cables are way too cheap. If they were more expensive we would have less to spend on speakers, and would be predisposed to buying more domestically acceptable speakers with more diminutive dimensions. The wire bandits are actually doing us a service.
speaker cable prices
I read plenty of articles on the demise of high end audio and have been an enthusiast for 40 years and worked at a high end retail chain for ten years back in the 90's. I still own several systems and buy and sell gear to keep tweaking my systems. Nonetheless I'm pretty shocked at the prices of cables in particular- I look for a decent pair of speaker cables to run from a Pass amp to a good pair of speakers and can hardly find a pair of 8 ft cables for less than $1000- most are commonly 2-3k for a pair of cables.
Is it me or is this ludicrous?
What are people buying for an average pair of cables ? Can a pair be had for $300?
