    Not to step on toes -

    But these cables look just like Signal Cable, Zebra Cables...

    Pretty much every home brew design --

    I mean is there more to this than what appears?

    Agreed, it's great that these home grow companies are out there.
    Most of these companies have good cables at great prices. It's a
    great place to start, before you can move up to the Hi-end MIT or
    Kimber Select cables.;)

    MIT Shotgun cables are really not high end or at least price wise aren't. Sure they can drain some coin but the "Hi-end MIT's" cost the priced of an automobile!:eek::D:) I know what you mean Bro just busting them for ya!

    Always good to see new American companies springing up. For many items I really don't mind paying a little more if I know that the customer service is there to support.

    America has always had some boutique manufacturing and needs to have more. I will check this company out as I will be in the market for some power cords soon. Looking forward to any impressions/reviews from this company.

    If there are people here who are considering upgrading from standard 14/16/18 gauge wire, then this is a very good deal:

    http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=109-062

    and keep the run short (don't use a 20 foot cable if the speakers are 5 feet away).

    The great irony here is that speakers are designed with "inferior" cable. I do speaker design and testing with a rather long run of this

    http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=100-016

    So, the question is, if you use different cable, and a different length of cable, than the speaker designer, why does your setup sound better, not worse?

    Hi, while I can't speak on the SP6 , what I can tell you is that Morrow's cables are for real and the testimonies on the site are no joke ! By chance last year I needed longer cables for a system redo and my budget was low Mike being the gentleman he is recomended the SP3 bi-wire. Well after the insanely long breakin (400 hrs) the cables are beyond belief. They truley will make your gear sound beyond what you thought it was previously capable of, this year I tried the IC's the MA-1 for 29.00, It was a special he was having to get people to try them list price is 174.00 all I can say is I dare you to try them I'm now on the MA-2 and the 3 or 4 is next. Compared to my AudioQuest King Kobra and Columbia's which I loved are on there way out the Morrow's are the cable to beat in my book.

    That explains a lot.

    I'm confussed; are you talking about the wire from the amp to speaker or internal wireing from crossovers to drivers?

    It isn't kosher posting links here to an item you have for sale on another site.
