Most Expensive Speaker Cables

This article has been updated, please view this list of expensive speaker cables

The most expensive speaker cables in the world may, in fact, be a total waste of money. Pear Cable Corporation has just released their new ANJOU Speaker Cable, a 12 foot length of which retails for $7,250. Pear reports that these cables “allow new levels of sonic accuracy to be explored.” Supposedly, this exploration is accomplished by “proprietary hybrid geometry,” “ultra low electrical reactance” and “fully annealed 99.999% pure oxygen free Copper.”

In response to a glowing review by Dave Clark, editor of Positive Feedback, in which he refers to the cables as “very danceable”, the James Randi Educational Foundation has offered a million-dollar prize to anyone who can prove beyond the shadow of doubt that the most expensive speaker cables actually perform better (to the human ear, mind you) than Monster Cable’s $80 HDMI cables. While the prize is available to anyone who can prove the superiority of the ANJOU cables, the JREF unabashedly directs this challenge at Mr. Clark himself. In fact, the JREF apparently has many such unclaimed prizes for audiophiles who can prove that certain exotic piece of audio equipment are actually as exceptional as they claim.
