You use 30AWG wire for your speakers? At that gauge, even with the less resistive silver coating, I'm fairly certain you're experiencing signal (dB) loss and dips in the frequency response of your speakers.

Bailiff, slap his peepee and take away his mancard! I expected better from a man with nothing but a broken hammer and a bent screwdriver...

Nothing but Home depot cable is allowed in my theater...

my personal favorite speaker wire is the mapleshade clearview helix which is also very thin.

Wait, the Mapleshade Records site isn't a parody? Don't look at their A/C Power Conditioning page while you're drinking unless you want it to come out your nose.

No. Amazingly enough, they're absolutely serious about their products -- and their claims.

Yes, sorry, Mapleshade Clearview Double Golden Helix speaker cable. I won't get into a discussion as to why I like these cables, since I'm just not in a breach the peace kind of mood today.

Check out Pierre Sprey, the man behaind mapleshade.

He certainly has an interesting history.

I like this comment taken from this site:

"In fairness, if you compare the cost of a CD with what LPs cost in the 1950's and 1960's taking into account inflation, CDs are actually cheaper. But that's a good economic argument and doesn't help much when most people have just so much money they can spend on music. But still there is no reason why CDs should cost $15 to $17. One reason that the major companies have to charge this amount is to support their large bureaucracies. I assure you that problem does not exist at Mapleshade. That's one reason we charge $9.50 per CD, if you buy four. A good deal."

He just charges ridiculous amounts of money for things that really make little difference to SQ to cover for his "low cost CD's", as long as you buy in quantity, what a joke. I will agree he is brilliant and I wish I could come up with money making schemes like these guys(Monster, Mapleshade, etc.) did.

That 'splains the pricing. Them wires is combat ready!!
