......that have lasted over 9 years now. I still use them and they still sound as good as the day I bought them.I did however, send them back to the factory about 5 years ago to get the ICON connectors installed which offered greater connecting flexibilty.
I also bought a used pair of MIT 750 +'s which I figure are over 10 years old. Had to send them back to MIT as the original connectors were falling off. Had them install the ICON connectors and they still sound great although to be fair, the MIT Biwire cables are much more refined and a set of AudioQuest Volcano DBS speaker cables smoke them but this has to do with progress in speaker cable design, not cable deterioration.

Kenster - I was thinking of upgrading cables for my B&W 8o2N & rotel 1090. Did you consider the newer MIT cables S1-S3, or do you think the audioquest dbs stuff is just better. Thanks for any ideas. Paul
I had not auditioned the MIT Shotgun S1-S3 cables as there are no dealers in my area. Thought about the AV1's though.I had replaced my IC's with the AudioQuest DBS line and was mighty impressed with the results. Had the chance to buy a used pair of the Volcano DBS speaker cables. Took them home for a week and was impressed to the point of purchasing :-)
Since U have B&W speakers and are thinking about upgrading your cables, U may want to consider the B&W SPEC series of active cables from Synergistic Research.
I've included their link if U want to peruse.

Thanks for the reply. Those have caught my eye in various print ads. ah...the power of marketing. Since real cable dealers in my area are a good six hours away, i would have to mail order. I would probably pick up the audioquest or mit discounted used, but since the synergistic stuff is new, i would have to pay full retail. Do you think the B&W spec cables would be worth full retail? Thanks Paul
"I would probably pick up the audioquest or mit discounted used, but since the synergistic stuff is new, i would have to pay full retail.
