Example: Ask the average speaker salesperson who sells a variety of high-end speakers what his specific favorite speaker/brand is. He will more than likely not let you pin him down to selecting one speaker brand over another, as not to show any bias towards one brand over another. Happy listening.
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?
