Re: Bargain speaker wire

That 1.5m of cable would cost more at buy it now than my sub and speakers put together.

It could be hand made by albino fairy monks but I still wouldn't consider it a bargain at that price. Even Scrooge McDuck on a particularly optimistic day would blanche at that price.

Honestly, I still can't believe anyone would pay such a ridiculous sum for that.

Re: Bargain speaker wire

If the speaker wire is priced somewhere much below the normal purchase price, it belongs in this forum the way I see it personally. That's just in my personal capacity and not a modding one.

Re: Bargain speaker wire

As this thread has now wondered off topic and the item has ended I'll now close it.
