I agree wholeheartedly with him. If I were demonstrating and selling speakers I'd use very expensive speaker cable, but I only listen to speakers. Therefore, I'm only concerned about the quality of my wire. That's why I use high-quality wire.

I had a friend bring over some Cardas speaker wire that was the size of a garden hose and we connected it to my speakers. He felt that my speakers were borderline unlistenable with my inexpensive wire but became quite listenable with his expensive Cardas wire. I couldn't hear the difference. I guess I'm lucky that way. ;-)
