Yes. Power cords. We are a crazy bunch over here
I was thinking of letting them hear cable A. Then play 2 others, where one of them is the same. The question beeing: Can they positively identify Cable A from the other.

Yes, here we go again!!!
Power cord no less!!! P T Barnum all over again!!!
I didn't make interconnects, either. My 4345s are bi-amped so I made four 10" speaker cables using 8 Neutrik dual-bananas but since I get so tired of overpaying at the local music store or Rat Shack for Chinese-made bananas, I bought 16 Neutriks so I'd be able to make more later. Markertek isn't the cheapest but they shipped incredibly fast. Shipping cost $10 so I ordered extra. I just have a thing against paying more for shipping than the product being shipped; call me odd! The whole order, including shipping, for enough Neutriks to make eight Moonshine cables, cost $38. That's less than $2.50 each, or still cheaper than Rat Shack's cheapest dual-bananas by over a buck, each. The Woods cable is still under $8 at WalMart. I just clicked the laptop and paid the freight to Markertek because I was tired of looking for better deals and some pros in the biz spoke highly of them. When it turned out they hadn't sent enough strain-relief "teeth", a quick call on their 800-number got me to a nice guy who knew just what I needed and had them to me in two days, no questions asked. I'm just happy they even bother with small orders like mine and in the end they probably lost money on me, but that was their fault, and I'll be back.
I'm very happy with my 6Moon cables, but then I was happy with my 16-gauge Lowe's speaker cable, too. I didn't bother to A-B them. The 4345s sounded fine before and they sound fine now. But I feel better having the Neutriks, and the cables lay flat, look good, and seem to work just fine.

Does it come with the screws? If so, that is not a bad price.
I think I can handle that DIY
and I thought these were stupid and way too pricey

but your cable price beats these?
BTW I know all about single crystal polysilicon, and how its grown in a Czochralski process reactor (spent my first 12 yrs as a semiconductor process engineer),
but I NEVER heard more BS than single crystal silver metal!

Well, I hope I don't get my knuckles wrapped for this, but I use Canare 4S11 cable. It has 4 conductors which you can use for bi-wiring or bi-amping, or you can just twist pairs together for a heavier cable which is what I do.
I like it. It's about 3/8" thick total with the jacket is very flexible and I kinda like the simple look of it.

This cable is for the 250's....banana clips or spades? Audio Classics recommended Spades...
Very good cable, and at 1.29 a foot you can't go wrong.
However it's not a cable designed for bi-amp, it's a cable designed for long runs and the quad configuration helps limit cable radiation when properly connected with the same colours joined at each end.
If you look at the cable the conductors alternate red white red white and they twist on themselves as they go. For bi-amp you need to check continuity in order to properly make the connectors.
This cable was designed for TV studios where long, high voltage speaker lines could cause interference.
Their theory for making this cable makes sense, they don't try to sell you snake oil. Besides at that price you get a lot of copper
that's the truth
expensive cables =
kinda like a Bose speaker...if you get my meaning ... if you catch my drift....

It has been done...
You have to read through a few million posts but I thought their dedication impressive and the outcome was rather interesting.
