Here is the eBay listing. The picture is of 12-gauge wire but the listing is for 10-gauge. I don't have a clue why they didn't take a picture of 10-gauge wire, but if you order 10-gauge wire you will receive 10-gauge wire.

Interesting JE. As we are both Thiel lovers, what led you to these cables?
Well, I needed speaker wire when I bought my Thiels. I'd been using active monitors for the previous 10-years and I didn't have an amplifier or any adequate speaker wire. I bought the best amplifier I could afford after spending all my money on the Thiels -- a Parasound Halo A21. Then I looked on eBay for 10-gauge speaker wire. I found the listing for KnuKonceptz wire and it looked good to me so I bought it.
The KnuKonceptz wire is excellent wire. My friend laughed at it and brought over some very expensive speaker wire the size of a garden hose, but it didn't sound any different let alone better. Of course, my friend told me that my KnuKonceptz wire was borderline unlistenable, but I heard absolutely no difference whatsoever. He had to justify the price in his own mind.
I've never been into wire. I would rather spend money on components and use reliable oxygen free copper wire. I like Monster Cable interconnects. They have excellent connectors, which I feel is very important, and they use very good copper wire. I bought all my Monster Cable interconnects on eBay brand new at less than half price. I use Monster Cable M-1000i balanced and unbalanced interconnects in addition to Studio Pro 1000 balanced interconnects. I looked for Monster Cable speaker wire on eBay, but I didn't find any at a price that I liked. Then I saw the listing for KnuKonceptz wire and it appealed to me so I bought it. I couldn't be happier.
Try it! See what you think! If you don't like it you aren't out very much money.
Best regards,

JE- I would be interested in reading more about the brand(s) of speaker cables that you have tried against your Thiel loudspeakers.
Likes? Dislikes?
I thought it would be very clear from my previous post that I am not into wire. I have absolutely no interest in testing different wires. The only other wire I used was my friend's expensive Cardas speaker cables that were the diameter of a garden hose. There was absolutely no difference in sound quality that I could detect.
Best regards,
John Elison
You were short-changed, Cardas is over-priced.
Perhaps you don't understand what I've been telling you. I use 10-gauge KnuKonceptz speaker wire. It costs about a dollar a foot. I don't use overpriced Cardas.
You should try the KnuKonceptz wire. I don't think you will find it overpriced. It is an excellent value.
Best regards,

Since we both enjoy Thiel loudspeakers, I thought we could have an exchange of intel (especially speaker cables)?
I really do not give a damn otherwise...
> I thought we could have an exchange of intel (especially speaker cables)?
Hey, that sounds like a great idea. I use 10-gauge KnuKonceptz speaker wire with my Thiel CS3.7 speakers. It's the best sounding speaker wire I've ever heard. Furthermore, it costs only about a dollar a foot, so it is very affordable. Have you ever tried it?
What kind of speaker wire do you use? Do you also have Thiel CS3.7 speakers? Since you don't have your system listed I can't tell which Thiel speakers you own. Anyway, let me know what kind of speaker cable you think is the best. Also, if you get a chance, buy some KnuKonceptz-Kord-Speaker-Wire-Ultra-Flex-Blue-OFC-10-Gauge-Cable and let me know how it compares to the wire you now use. Did I tell you it's the best sounding speaker cable I've ever heard and it only costs about a dollar a foot.
Let me know what you think.
> I really do not give a damn
Oh, okay! Sorry!
Best regards,
John Elison
