$30K for 3 meters speaker!

Big rip-off no cable is worth 30k i hope this guy goes out of business as cables are the biggest rip-off going.
What these super high end cable manufacturers assume is that the cables used in the recording chain are perfect. Notice they don't market their cables as bringing you 100% accuracy to the recording, mastering and pressing losses as the "original musical event".
I have the audioquest wel speaker wire 8ft which is pretty much 3m.  Retail is similar to above.  Of course I paid a fraction of that.  Compared to every other cable I have heard, I find it very competent at the price I paid.  I doubt I will ever replace it
I haven’t have opportunity to listen to them live yet but ran into couple demo clips from audio shop in VietNam and they are sounding very nice

And they were also now exposed recently that they were buying their conductors from Jenwei in Taiwan so they're marking them up so much it's ridiculous, what a joke they're now charging $50,000 for one of their speaker cables, I guess there's suckers born everyday.

well there's something even better now Joey, it's rectangular OCC single crystal wire far superior to round OCC and the only company that produces it is Neotech, check out the Amazon which is their rectangular silver OCC wire and the Sahara which is their rectangular copper OCC wire, not cheap but a lot less than those other ripoff companies.

I have tried several sets of speaker cables, they all sound different to me. I now own the Madison AudioLab E3 extreme 1 cables. They are my end game cables. The only way you will ever know if cables make a difference is to try them in your own home period. 

I'd love a pair of Audioquest Dragons but I'd settle for a pair of silver William Tell's if I could get a massive discount.

miketr75,

I also found out that he buys all his wire from Jen Wai in Taiwan, so even if he uses OCC single Crystal copper or silver it doesn't cost that much because Neotech makes the new rectangular OCC single Crystal copper and silver and the silver one is only $9,000 for 2.5 m and Wan Lung is the parent company of Neotech and they are The Foundry that makes all OCC wire for almost every high-end cable company out there.

Open up your speakers and take a peak at the wiring inside them.

Purchase identical wire and use that for the cables from speaker to amp(s).

"If it's good enough for the inside, it's good enough for the outside"!

That unknowingly happened to me, Inakustik speaker wire is used inside, didn’t know till I looked, so I have a match.

 

@rx8man Haha, Sam was joking when he wrote that, but it is very interesting yours really do match. Pretty sure most don't.

Siltech Triple Crown cables are $25k/meter. Pair of speaker cables are 100k and yes, there are people for who money is not a finite resource.
