Speaker cables being pricier than main speakers


I was just wondering if there is anybody out there with their speaker cables being more expensive than the speakers itself. Although it may seem unwise or unjustified to have the cables pricier than the speakers as one could always upgrade to a more substantial or better pair of speakers, I always had this crazy idea of having the Nordost Valhallas permanently with my speakers, but then I could get a whole lot more upgrading the speakers rather than the cable.

My speaker cables cost about 1/4 the price of my speakers.

Just curious.

"revealing/unforgiving cables"...quite a statement since whatever differences anyone seems to find in cables is still masked if done in a blind test. Just a frame of reference, please continue to enjoy our hobby.

The thought that anyone allows their financial commitment in cables to limit their choice of speaker is obsurd though. Pick you speaker with zip cord, then change cabling as you like.
