That sure is hog wash. That says that if you put together
a system and spec speaker wire, then add, say, a $5000
component of some sort, you should spend more money on
the speaker wire although nothing at all about the connnection
between the amps and the speakers has changed.
It's hog wash Ernie but the then again so is the business of selling high-end cables in the first place. When I used to work in high-end audio one of the things that the cable manufacturers hammered into the sales people and the sales people in turn into the customers was how your cables should cost a certain percentage of your system - usually the number was 25% or some such nonsense. Of course otherwise the world was going to come to an end and your "cables aren't going to be able to reveal all that your components are capable of". I LOVE high-end audio systems but unfortunately the words "high-end audio" these days pretty much equal "bullshit".
