Just Pulled The Trigger

Bought a new, 2m run of Cardas Golden Reference Bi-Wire speaker cable with 9mm spades. Cost me $1,450 with a trade-in of my 11 year old Neutral Reference Bi-Wire. The GR is now a "legacy product" and is still available on a limited basis at a discounted price. The retail on the GR was about $2,500. Although I am very much looking forward to the upgrade, to be used in conjunction with my Cardas GR ICs, I can't believe that I just spent that much for speaker wire. Hopefully, this is not a situation where a fool and his money are soon parted. What do you think? Please, be kind.

1. Golden Reference isn't upgrade to Neutral Reference in most of cases(read any reviews?).
2. It's already normal to pay >$1000 for stereo wire set. That's why they're so expensive.
3. Voiding to spend this much on wires will drive their prices down. The actual cost of these isn't even reaching 3 figures.

I've just purchased original release of David Bowie "Earthling" vinyl negotiated for $235 from $300.
Gotta have this hot item and great album.
I also have ones I buy for $1...3 each.

I'd say why not question mark instead of exclamation?
