Speaker cables being pricier than main speakers

Bigbucks, are you saying you would buy 9900 speakers and spend 100 on cables? Your benchmark is less than %2 of speaker price for cables?

I think better speakers deserve better cables. If an expensive cable can make the speaker sound measurable better to the buyer why not spend bigbucks on cables. Do you think a 10K speaker will sound best with $100 cable?

As I mentioned before, cables are components and should be treated and budgeted accordingly.

"Do you think a 10K speaker will sound best with $100 cable?"

No, didn't say that.

But If I had a $10K budget to spend on speakers/cables, how would I split that up? $9900 for the speakers and $100 for the cables will give you better sound than $7000 on speakers and $3000 on cables.

Spent $2000. for a pair of $2500 demo B&W 805s with $600 B&W stands tossed in for free.
Spent $10 to fill and seal the stands.
Spent $200 on new wire Kimber TC8 biwired 6 wires for low, sigle pair for high , and connectors on hand did the job.
(The connectors on hand, 6 pair of $20 each WBT with sleeves) So my ends cost more than my wires... does that count for anything?
If I would have had to buy connectors, I probably would have bought spades for $20 total...
Anyway, I "spent" 10% of the cost on wire. I don't count the very expensive connectors, as I just had them laying around?
Anyway, The idea of spending a lot on cables is crazy, unless you got money to burn...
