    Or, anyone else have any other suggestions in this general price range? Looking for 8ft bi-wire bananas all around.

    Not having kids AND trading up. I think people forget that $1K cables are a lot more affordable if you're getting $300-500 or more out of cables you already own.

    Once I realized that a lot of gear seemed a lot more accessible to me.

    Pepster was a big XLO fan, he's no longer around. Most of the power cables he made was from bulk XLO he had.

    Looks like a nice deal for sure and Iโ€™ve heard good things about these cables! I have a double run bi wire set of Cables 12 ft that cost an awful lot but they sure work well with my 2 channel rig ! Iโ€™d say go for it !

    I've got a suggestion but to bi-wire you would have to take out a second mortgage.
