Looking for some speaker cables that are better than my RatShack 16ga zip cord. Thinking about new Signal Cable Classic if I can't find anything used. Need 6 foot, one pair. 'Nanners are okay, as are bare wire.
Ludicrous gibs!

    Check out a local Tweeter if you can. The Audioquest bulk speaker wire is 50% off.

    I hate ultra fine stranded cables. They suck the life out of music. It is decent for bass, but not what I would look for in a full range wire. Like MM28 said if tweeter has bulk AQ at 50% that is a good deal. AQ type 4 is great cheap wire;)

    With the deals going on over there, it would be worth the trip. You may save tons of cash on things you want/need. Or Need/want.LOL

    If not, I'm sure some PF members can arrange something, if that's the route you choose.

    I have a 10ft pair of Signal Ultras I might be willing to let go....

    I have been wanting a pair of Bi-wire configuration Signal Ultras. But I would need to sell my current pair first before I could get them...



    If your interested let me know and I'll figure out a price for them.
