I'm out of the market for 19's after realizing the only gain I'd hear would be better & lower bass response because of the larger cabinet volume. So I'll go with what I have.

Come to think of it, I remeber a brand of cables by that name.

The majority of sales techniques pandor to our insecurities by boosting our EGO's through sex. Or this can be done by making us feel superior by causing us to think the product in question is a magic potion. A potion that will make us verile and strong, or even possibly lead us to Nervana.

And we wonder why there are so many arrogant control freak's wrecking havoc on the world, the Alpha.

There is a belief that we were made with the free will to choose. To choose to be led by our animalistic instincts, or to be guided by our spirit.

My main point is the tools that are used in promoting products in the market place. They usually play to our personal insecurities and animalistic instincts, lust and superiority, the Alpha.
Suggesting, that their products some how will get you babes, or make you whole in some fashion.

These are the standard marketing tools of the trade, automobile and audio cables advertisements are a good example.

Do you remeber seeing the cable advertisement in a Stereo magazine that had a naked lady posing with a power cable running up her back?
I wonder what that was suppose to represent?

I have to also agree with Bob Brines on his point of Elitism.

It would be hard for me to justify spending $600 for a set of cables, even if I was rolling in money.

But, to be fair, I have heard a significant difference in signal quality between a pair of $450 interconnects, and a pair of $2500 interconnects.
But, on the other hand, I have read where many people who roll their own cables. Have heard a significant difference in signal quality between $50 worth of cable parts, over a $450 set of pre-manufactured cables.

Sometimes it can just come down to personal priorities, and the size of your bank account. I would not want to begrudge anyone who has earned a good living the right to spend it on what ever they desire.

But, aren't audio signal cables and wires, essentually an R/C filter?
And I wonder how much psycho-acoustics plays in our audio purchasing decisions?

Sorry for the RANT, it is just an opinion.
