    I've had green / gold and red / black.
    Check your lips at the door woman. Shake your hips like battleships. Yeah, all the white girls trip when I sing at Sunday service.

    None of mine were 'flat', as in Analysis Plus flat?

    I think Chuck ended up with the red pair, he might have moved them on down the road. Henry has the Green I *think*.

    I think I have the red pair from Chuck right now. I have to re-terminate them. I still have to find out how to do it properly. I hear it's a PITA.

    I want to bi-wire using Cobras on the tweets and AQ Type4 on the woofers.

    Remember that the Cobras will blow up certain amplifiers(from what I've heard). It produced a loud hum when I hooked it up to my NAD amp.

    I talked to Ken Swauger about them. He said the problem was with older, less stable sand amps. You won't have any problems with any newer ones.

    I would bet that some of the bad reputation about these cables simply came from user error. The wires or colors, need to be seperated at the termination end and one wire wrong would cause a big problem.
