"There are only two requirements a speaker cable should satisfy.
The first is that it should be long enough to reach between amplifier and speaker.
Then having done that, the only other requirement is, ideally, the colour of the insulation should match that of the surface on which it lays."
I like that! Each to their own but I don't get it. Maybe I'm tone deaf...
I have a friend that spends more on his HiFi than I do on my cars and I just don't understand it, his speaker cables are thicker than my jump leads!
Give me my Bose Soundlink any day of the week.
