Thanks for the assistance everyone. So here's the real moral of the story. How could any high quality speaker cable at any price maintain its integrity unless it were connected directly to the internal crossover or source? Almost every speaker is going to have an additional foot of internal cable or wire connecting the crossover to the internal speaker terminals that the end-user doesn't see. Psychologically the listener doesn't see this and so they make up their mind that the cables made some change to the sound. My speakers had some 14 gauge copper wire inside the cabinet, so why would any higher quality speaker cable make any difference? In essence, every speaker has an extra foot of wire that isn't going to be the same as the cables you bought. It would only be as good as the weakest link, wouldn't it?
