Retail $1300
Sell for $745

6 foot biwire - small spades on speaker end - larger on amp end - very good condition but the shrink wrap on the amp end spades has a couple cuts due to the Pass amps' binding posts. I can put new shrink wrap on - no big deal... Includes Mini Power Coupler active shielding(MPC). Bought from authorized dealer about 5 months ago and I have the original box. Unreal cables that will make you question why you haven't tryed them ;) I'm upgrading - I'll spend more money on the SR cables but I'm convinced ;) Paypal prefered and I'll absorb the 3% - shipping included if asking price is met(within CONUSA)!

Wow, how weird.  I'm calling The Cable Compnay as I read this, to order a loaner set.  I love the Tesla IC's, and want to try the speaker cables.  My problem is: i need a biwired set AND two stereo sets (cuz of my external crossover setup).  I'd buy these in a few weeks, once I hear them in my inhome demo.   :duh:

Tony, are they really that good?  I've looked but hesitated that maybe this was snakeoil. :o

they really are - the Accelerator is about 85-90% of the much more costly Apex - so I've been told.  They are the best I've ever had in my system but YMMV.  I just want to try a true external biwire on my 5A's - that's what R. Vandersteen strongly recommends..

If they are in the same league as their IC's (Tesla Accelerator) they are likely phenomenal.

WHo was the genius at their company who decided that speakers would only be 4 feet apart?  One power supply has to feed both sets of wires and the Y cable only spreads open about 4 feet.  Ordered a 12' MonoPrice 3.5mm cable to connect them at 8 feet spread. :duh:

yeah, I wondered that too - thankfully they were long enough for my monos.  They should just do a cost free exchange I would think?

Shouldn't the power supply connect where the speaker cables connect at the amp(s)?  Or are your amps 8ft apart?


Big Red Machine

There is only one power supply and a Y cable with very short leads.  You would need to place the PS in the middle of the speakers and then they can only be about 4 feet apart then.

As per You2Tup, you keep mentioning the 4 ft power cables being an issue with your speaker spread; isn't it about your amp spread?  The speaker width is only limited by the length of the actual speaker cable, right?

I'm running monoblocks and they are outside the speakers which are at 8'.

Ahhh, now we get it!   Well, the geniuses at SR probably don't come across too many setups where the amps are wider than 4 feet apart, let alone wider than the speakers.  That's why the power umbilicals are at the amp end, and typically pretty short.  Most use a stereo amp, some monos, and you and few others have amps that far apart.  I wouldn't blame Synergistic, but I would ask for a free extension cable.
