Well...I came across a company which happens to make the cable for a VERY well known and respected cable manufacturer (whom, for legal reasons, will remain nameless.) In any case, this famous (amongst audiophiles) speaker cable which costs a little shy of $20K for a 10' pair is purchased from the wire-puller for.........
