The Cable Company advice?


Anyone have experience (good/bad/meh) with consultation advice from The Cable Company?

I asked for a recommendation for 8’ speaker cables from a $20k integrated to $35k speakers. Their reply was a long pitch about their lending library. When I asked for a specific recommendation they suggested a $750 pair of cables. When I replied that my budget was $2,500 to $5k with some specifics about air, soundstage, bass clarity, etc. they suggested one step up the line to a $1,500 pair.

Considering all the high priced cables they offer I was surprised and a little skeptical. 
 

Does anyone have experience with them to share?

The Cable Company has  been great with recommendations from my experience. My bad experience with them came when I returned a pair of speaker cables that were not properly manf. The Sales rep would not return my calls/emails (the return would ding his commission) and I had to ask another rep for help. I hope the guy who was a poor sales rep. was let go but I have no way to find out.  

I would take it as a positive that he didn't recommend cables costing your upper $ limit. I would NOT be confused by this.
