I found this interesting, because I am one of those people that are tempted to pay a fee for better performance. Always worried about possible weaknesses... lol

I personally believe the article. Before I read this, I was spending good money on 'high-quality' speaker wire.

Now if only I can find put if a capacitors effect on cleaning power actually helps a systems sound quality.

I don't agree with his wire length recommendations. Try going here and play with some wire awg, lengths, and power levels: http://www.bcae1.com/wire.htm Putting in 1000 watts through 18 awg wire run 12 feet into a 2 ohm load produced inaudible losses. You don't need big speaker wire, period.

ok WTF... people spend 1300 on a foot of speaker wire.... who the hell can do this?

I work construction, I have worked in 3 houses that are over 15,000sq Ft. and even these houses didnt spend that much on speaker wire. Im talkin 10+Mil houses. people who buy them without a mortgage.

I just cant see what makes a wire so expensive... and where the market for them is.

Wow, that's outrageous. I guess it just shows how gullible people can really be.

So how long do you have to suck on the wire before you know that all the oxygen is out? I nearly passed out last week doing this till I noticed my friend kinked the wire.

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.
