I'm currently looking at a price sheet from AudioQuest.com which lists their top-line "Everest" speaker cable at us$14,500 for an 8-foot pair.Which, as I read it, translates to $29,000 if you want stereo.
Hmm, I'll wager that my £1.45 will have more effect than your $29,000: http://www.expresschemist.co.uk/category_1970_cottonbuds.html Not quite as chic though.
