The Bolder silver wire was offered as an upgrade option, over the standard Teflon silverplate wiring.  But, I 'think' the Bolder wire was only used on the bass/woofer section, or in stand alone subs.  Some info here, from the old VMPS website. 

"Crossovers in all our systems are executed at the high quality level, with Teflon silverplate
wiring, Erse “Super Q” coils, and Axon and custom polypropylene capacitors. We can think of only one way to improve on these parts: superpremium capacitors from Audience (Auricap) and TRT, parts too expensive for use in many of the costliest high end competitors including, unbelievably, those retailing in the six figure range."

"Bolder silver wire from crossover point to bass driver on any loudspeaker or subwoofer. More clarity for bass range."


Scroll down to the Upgrades & Options section:

Brian used basically two brands of Silver Wire:

Analysis Plus

Bolder

Usually on the Price list it was listed as as the SUPER MAX option at $700

SUPER MAX meant fully wired with Silver.

AP = Analysis Plus

It was also not unusual for Brian to use Silver going to the woofer section and not even tell you you had it.  If it was closer than the copper on the work bench, and he could reach it easier, you might have silver on your woofs.

If it is listed on the back, then you "for sure" have it.
