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.

And then use 4 banana plugs to plug into the speaker? 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.

And then use 4 banana plugs to plug into the speaker? 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..
