Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable?

Just worked with Kelly on a speaker change/upgrade for my system.  I did not want the ribbon tweeters of the 20T and so I switched from Model 9s to LR5s and added two SW12 subs.  I used the Model 9s for many years and they are very good as I belie...
