That was a joke - right? People don't really spend $1500 for a pair of cables, do they? I can see $200 for a set, but $1500. I remember reading a review of 3 different speaker cables - the super expensive, the inexpensive and the the Home Depot extension cord. The results were not that surprising. All were 12 gauge and the reviewer had trouble justifying the high priced ones. So seriously, was that a joke?
