I'm Geoff.
Rather inclined to try some of this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1213815725...84.m1423.l2649
The price seems pretty reasonable (this is unterminated). I've not tried Audioquest speaker cable, but I do have a couple of their interconnects that are good.
I've looked at reviews and they seem very favourable. Well liked by a couple of Klipsch users apparently. If any speaker is going to show up a cable's tendency towards coarseness, they should.

Well as I said before it depends on the components it is connecting. It may be ideal in some set ups, it may be awful in others. It may be fine but sub-optimum compared to some other cable you have not tried. That is the trouble with cables.Originally Posted by Martyn Miles

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

Just bought six metres. Definitely not the dearest speaker cable I've tried, but looking online, there's not a bad word said about it. I shall report back!

Well Martin I've certainly tried a few.....and there are others that I just can't rememberOf course you can't try every cable (although Bev is having a go at it)
If money was no object I would have TQ Ultra Blacks.... I did have a trial of a pair but at the time I could not justify the cost... but they really are SUPERB...

Wondered when you'd turn up Bev.

I'm Rich.
I've probably got enough Rega FSC quattro lying around to send you a 1m stereo pair gratis if you'll reimburse the postage.
Given it costs around 4quid a metre and can be spilt from its lengths if 4 to make 2 stereo pairs this is no great loss.
It will give you something else to compare against.
PM me your address
One of these days... I'm going to cut you into little pieces.

Hi GeoffWondered when you'd turn up Bev.

Yep i'm a bit of a night owl..
Bike is lovely thanks....
Not been out today. But did do a bit on her... she now has a rather expensive pair of NGK Iridium spark plugs... apparently the little Honda likes these plugs so I thought I'd treat her...
Just been fettling her today and checking a few bits and pieces, air filter, chain lube etc.. just before I purchased her she had a new chain and sprocket set fitted so I will really look after the chain etc..
After trying various chain lubes over the years the best I found was Wurth's 'High Perf Dry Chain Lube', it's very clean and the chain won't be covered in that nasty oil that most use
As far as being predictable, I really hate that... i'll have to change my habits...
