i found this set of audioquest type 4 at bestbuy
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=9511334&productCategoryId=abcat0107031&type=product&id=1218117344485
and i was just wondering if anyone had any experience with the cable. I am going to be connecting them to my polk lsi15's via a rotel 1095 amp. Are these good cables, is the best buy price a good price?

Very nice cable, but I would never spend that kinda coin on them. You can find them for $80-$100 all the time.

+1.

Some AQ Type 4s are floating about on CP as evaluations. I tried them and liked them. But, like Ben said, you can pick up a set for much less - which would make them a sweet deal for your rig.

yep, maybe even better connectors.

This is even a better deal.

These are essentially the same thing. Same wire config and you can choose the color of the sheathing and termination. Save yourself some money and buy these

No affil.

Kimber 4TCs have a good rep, too - haven't tried them.

But here is a nice deal:

Same wire, different termination.

Type 4 is type 4 cable. Will depend on connectors and color. Bout it.
