    Default Bargain speaker cable

    Hi all,

    Ordered some of this a few days ago >
    https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?m...2F152150015281

    Had them plumbed in for about 12 hours and I'm very pleased. Nothing to complain about just very good sound.

    Very good stuff.

    It’s so strange.... I also ordered these very cables a couple of months ago. I thought they were a bargain and very good.

    Then....... another AOS member said..... have you tried Blue Jeans Cable ( effectively Belden cable made to Blue Jeans specification.) Just Stunning at the same sort of price point + USA IMPORT DUTY...... which is a bummer.

    I’m certainly not going to get into a debate about speaker cable, as it’s a no, no.

    I have 10k speakers and an even more expensive amp and ancillaries. Spent more on speaker cable than you can imagine £20 to £150 Meter. (And more).

    At the end of the day, it’s what you like and what gives you the best sound to your ears.

    Sorry all, but it’s what does it for you........ there ain’t no magic cable out there!!

    Here endeth the Sermon.

    Sorry in advance!!!

    They don't exactly 'oversell' it on the advert, do they?

    Not so much of a bargain (although still sensible enough money), but if anyone's looking for a super-slim, discrete speaker cable, which can be hidden out of the way easily and sounds SUPERB, then I thoroughly recommend this stuff:
