Thanks! That was exactly what I was looking for. I am actually waiting to hear back from someone who has a 6ft pr of Anticables Level 3 for $75. That seems to be the way to go. Thanks, Harley

Many here have sent back Anti-Cables. YMMV. nt - oldmkvi 11:37:31 03/25/16 (4)

  oldmkvi is correct some have returned their Anti Cables ... the biggest issue with the speaker cables is those terrible terminations he uses ... they really degrade the sound severely and should be replaced with a premium termination or go bare wire
  
  I had mine reterm-ed with Echiman bananas
  
  With the ICs I didn't even take the plunge because of the way he wound the return around the hot ... unequal lengths in the hot and returned made me balk at the ICs

    My speaker cables are different lengths, one 15', one 30',
    cannot hear the slightest problem.
    I'm not saying that equal shorter lengths couldn't sound better, in a direct comparison,
    but it seems fine to me, so maybe different lengths, esp an inch or so,
    don't matter.
- Can you expand on that, please? - Harley 12:08:44 03/25/16 (1)

    Well, some liked them, some didn't.
    Just like most Audio Products.
    I have no idea if solid core is better than stranded, but all my cables are stranded, and sound good to me.
    I understand that Anti-Cables are cheap.
    That's their main claim to fame, AFAIK.
    That Monster stuff should sound very good, esp if you can get a lower price.
    Only Clarus Crimson have beat my Monster IC's.
    I have M1.4 and M2.4 Speaker Cables, Bi-Wire, on different systems, definite keepers for me.
    My main system has very long and un-even lengths, 15 and 30 feet, M1.4's were expensive at those lengths.
