Bad idea?


I really don't want to spend over $1000 for a pair of speaker cables especially when I don't need them 8 ft long. Would it be a bad idea to buy just one cable and cut it in half. One side would be bananas with the other side bare wire?

Thanks

Why in the world would you spend $1,000 on speaker cables. Serious question. I assume it's because you want them to look really nice; some eye candy in your system. Because it can't be because you think they'll actually sound any better than using a coat hanger. They won't. Shame on anyone here who says (lies) to the contrary.

@bzawa yes, there are that many dishonest people in the industry. There is no regulation, they can claim whatever they want. Stop listening to them, or even me, and go listen to blind tests for yourself. Not a single person in these forums would be able to tell the difference between a coat hanger, and the most expensive snake oil Audioquest cable on the market. People who deny that just have confirmation bias/endowment effect. The human brain is a powerful thing.
