FS/FT: MIT Terminator 2 Bi-Wire Speaker Cables

$200? Is it a price issue, or does simply nobody want these??
-
Maybe the (shortish) length, maybe the Shotgun series gets more press, or maybe everyone thinks that between you and Jesse, there's no more magic fairy dust left in the terminal boxes
Seriously, seems to be a good price based on comparables out there. Folks should remember these don't have to be used strictly for bi-wire purposes."This may not matter to you, but it does to me for various reasons, many of them illogical or irrational, but the vinyl hobby is not really logical or rational..." - member on Vinyl Engine

My bad...I thought your original post said 8', but you said 'priced' like 8'.

Sorry, I should have been more clear. The length was mentioned in the original FS post, but I didn't re-mention it mine. These are long.

Still for sale or preferably trade.

Yay. Heelluva deal too!
Congrats -
Got the coat hangers today! Very well packed, thanks for that!
Holy cow!!! I was was surprised, the cable is bigger in proportions than what anticipated, the box is twice as big I imagined and the cable has a grit of a garden hose.
Looks way better than in the picture! In 7
words “it kicked my rig to another level!” Wooo hooo! -
What did they replace?
-
I had Canare star quad 4S8...

Yet another MIT convert.

Glad that they got there quickly and intact.
Could you expand on the differences you noticed versus your previous speaker cables? -
Best thing, it made my new speakers sound right.
Listening Diana Krall “temptation”, coherent sound but gained a “velvety” envolving soundstage,
The upright bass notes go deeper, more punch and texture, can hear the instrument resonance and imagine the size and shape, picking up more playing technique details on the drum kit, the vocals got sweeter and the piano notes atack and decay are very pleasant.
More “girth” in the music, seems to surround my listening position projecting beyond speakers in depth and width.
No kidding, I didn’t had to go back and forth between cables to convince myself on the superiority of the MITs. -

Wow, those are some fairly dramatic changes! Very interesting. I'm glad that they are working out well for you in your system!
Keep us updated on how they settle in. When I first put them into my system, they ended up requiring about 40 hours of play (and obviously several days of not being physically moved around) before they really got into their stride. -
Yeah man! It helped me figure out a combination of factors that make a big difference:
-Previous cables weren't playing well with LS70, I feel like they were chocking the sound.
-The polyfill inside the speakers was messed up. I placed correctly and used the interior mesh board to keep it in place behind tweeters and woofers.
-The dirty speaker terminal metal jumpers sound terrible... now it's bi-wired
-Using Parasound PL/D 2000 preamp direct in and direct out.
Well, take it a grain of salt. I may be too excited and hearing things
