More food for thought... I could be wrong, but most if not all, speaker manufactures do not use esoteric speaker wire to connect drivers to the crossovers within the cabinet. The appropriate gauge would be used, but not uber expensive cabling; therefore, wouldn't that be a weak link? Same with amps, pre-amps, etc. The electronic components that are not surface mounted or wire jumpers between circuit boards and such are usually not wired with esoteric cables, so again, another weak link.
