Brian,
The "...oxygen-infused triple-platinum connectors" really only have worth
in the "pure audio" crowd.
This is a "crowd" I have a life-time of experience with. Hayes, bless his
heart, frequently tweaks me and my "primo audio" side. It is a button.
Ears are very personal.
Commercial 10//3 "romex" internal house electrical stuff makes really
'good' audio speaker cable. A bit large for all things digital, but if you
have the proper connectors, works fine. (looks really odd!) If your have a
really large amp, it really likes all that copper to flow watts to the
speakers. JMHO.
(but I am a Kimber-freak! Been one for 25yrs)
In the venues you have been asking about (htpc), it really boils down to
what you "feel" you want to do (regardless of what any of us share);
because in the end you will do a cost/value analysis, and then make your
choices. GO FOR IT. And, after it is installed and working, let us know how
it works!
Best,
Duncan

Now, if you are talking about having the proper gauge of wire for
certain applications (ie high amperage) or having good, well-made
connectors, then yeah there is a difference. But your oxygen-infused
triple-platinum connectors? I've got a bridge to sell you.
