No discussion about why you use them or what you've used in the past or what you're hoping to use in the future. A simple answer of what speaker cable you currently use is all I want to know (a link to said cable is okay as well).

    Harmonic Technology Pro 9+ internal bi-wire for the nethers posts, Harmonic Technology Pro 11+ on the upper posts, just cause I had them. Same wire, just single runs on the Pro 11+. Otherwise it would be jumpers. HT changed hands so I can't get matching terminations/heat shrink for the internal bi-wire (both wires per polarity same termination) to make them bi. I didn't want to lessen their value with non oem parts.

    My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....

    This twin lead brown metallic colored speaker cable is designed to provide a very high transfer quality at a moderate price.

    Each lead is made of 296 x 0.15 mm. Matched Crystal (MC) high purity OFC strands with a dense and very pure silver coating.
    Covering the two conductors an extra layer saturated with Linear Structured Carbon ® is applied to improve the sonic performance and to transform the radiated magnetic field into an audio signal again.
    The cable jacket is made of our HULLIFLEX ® 3, a very flexible and mechanically superb insulation material.
    The resistance per lead is: 0.34 Ohm/100 meter.
    Total metal cross-section area for each conductor is 5.23 mm², equalling AWG 10. The capacitance between the 2 leads is: 32.5 pF/meter.

    Thanks. I bought them used in 2006, beat that depreciation. I had the Mk III Pro Silways once upon a time. IIRC they had a mix of silver and copper wire.
