Do flexible speaker cables exist?


Are there any really good speaker cables that are flexible pliable, supple, bendable, pliant, cables?

Are those really your speaker cable qualifications? There are many, many cables that will fit into your description, including cables from Radio Shack or Wal-Mart.

IMHO, sound is the primary job of a speaker cable, but that could just be me. I may just be a 'nut', which I'm sure my wife will testify to.

BTW, it would help if you would define 'really good'. Are you talking about transparency, warmth, liquidity, nuetrality, or what? No, they are not all the same. Name a price range and what sonic attributes that you are looking to attain and it would make this a lot easier for all of us.
Transparency, liquidity and neutrality for $1K at new prices.........hmmmmm, you've certainly stumped me. That's asking an awful lot, don't you think? How about buying used? You may be able to get a pair of Stealth Hybrid MLT's for close to $1K on the used market. They come closest to your goal sonically, IMHO. I also would recommend a pair of Jade Vermeil's, but I highly doubt that you would find a pair on the used market.
FWIW, my experiences with the Kubala-Sosna cables would suggest that they would satisfy the liquidity, but are far from transparent and/or neutral.

As for new cables, flexible, transparent, liquid, neutral and under $1K for a 10 ft pair.....well I'm still drawing a blank....but I'll sleep on it. (FWIW yes, I have owned Audience AU24's).

Happy hunting,
John
