I hadn't seen the $40,000 CD player before.

Wow, me either. That is certifiably insane. And I would know. ;\)

We are also in the 6th month of 2008, you would think they would update their copyright for such expensive items...

I have a question about quad conductor cables like the Canare 4S11. Do you guys just combine the two wires into one banana plug at the reciever/amp end? And then use 4 banana plugs to plug into the speaker?

If the $40k CD player is insane, then what's your professional opinion of $75k speakers, Doc?

From the NBS site, I followed the link to their distributor, one Kastle Cable, who offers these speakers.

It's a good thing they spent no money on their web design so they could pass the savings on to you.

That is one way to do it.

You could also double both ends and just use it like a normal two-wire speaker cable. Either way, make darn sure you keep the polarities correct.

I left my 4S11's in a quad-wire configuration because I bi-amp my M80's.

I think it would be cool if Axiom offered Quad Conductor cables...with the Axiom logo on them...I would probably purchase that for my mains.

That is exactly how I ordered my Quad Star, 4 plugs at speaker end, 2 plugs at amp end. My system sounds good, the cables look good and I'm happy. I have " high end " cables in a 5.1 setup for about $250 bucks, that includes 2 toslink opticals and 1 coax.. a grand total of about 180ft of cables.. long runs to the mains and center.

I was considering the Prana wires..but in the end, I decided to save myself $35,765.00 dollars instead..
