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

Originally purchased these from Jesse here: https://forum.polkaudio.com/discussion/182091/mit-terminator-2-bi-wire-speaker-cables

These are great sounding cables, but I've had my fun with them. Time for me to move in a different direction and pass these along to another Polkie.

They came with spades for the amp end, and I purchased a set of 4 MIT bananas for $35 off eBay so they'll come with both.

Full disclosure: One of the network boxes is starting to open up, due to I'm guessing the factory sealant/glue giving up. It's pretty much a non-issue and stays closed on it's own, but just wanted to mention it.

Asking $275 shipped via PP FF, I'm also open to trades for equivalently priced 8' bi-wire speaker cables. Thank you for your interest.

    Drew is a prime example of a perfect seller. Boxing, communication, fast shipper... he's the trifecta of sellers. Even the packing tape will run perfectly parallel to the box's edges and be cut at a perfect ninety degree angle. A+

    Thanks man, this would have been a very nice addition but I'm going to hold off on the Ushers and MIT for now. I have too much on the plate next month.

    Someday, I do want to try out MITs.

    Sorry man. I really feel for ya. When I pulled a tube from the EAR last weekend, saw all that deflection of the PCB, got scared. Put my other hand on the PCB to stabilize it, and ever so gently wiggled that sucker out. Same process to wiggle it back in.

    Not supposed to wiggle them. Straight up to get them out and straight down to get them back in.

    A gentle rocking/rolling motion as you pull up or push down can help ease the tube into or out of the socket. However I've read that side to side twisting motions should be avoided.

    @K_M These would be a great way to get your feet wet in regards to what an aftermarket speaker cable can bring to your listening experience. The difference between these MITs and typical 12-14ga stranded copper speaker wire is NOT subtle at all.
