Artet Cables 10' BiWire pair Speaker

These are Artet Speaker Cables, a product manufactured and sold by Tetra Audio, a Canadian maker of fine speakers.  Note that the cable name, Artet, is a reverse spelling of Tetra!!  The cables are about 10 yrs old and have seen little use in the last 6 yrs. 

This pair is being sold as a Bi-Wire pair, 10' in length.  These typically are sold with Tetra speakers, which are bi-wireable, and the speakers were also sold with Exposure amps which allow one to use bi-wire connection to the output terminals.

I am selling these for a friend, who also had me sell the Exposure amp that mated with her Tetra 506 speakers.  The Exposure amp sold rather quickly.  After hearing the Tetra speakers, I bought them myself.

Note that these cables consist of individual cables, 4 for each speaker, that are then spiraled into a "single" cable.  In effect you are buying 4 sets of individual cables that could be used in various set ups.  Note the banana plug termination is by the USA firm, CMC.  I am not familiar with this firm, but these bananas worked just fine in my system.  They are what I would call a "sabre" banana. 

 
The bundling of the 4 cables together is not uniform between the 2 separate bundles.  One pair is held in a twisted format with sections of loosely fitting shrink tubing.    For one of the pair, the 4 cables had been 'unbundled', and basically require some shrink tubing to re-bundle them.  I have temporarily re-twisted them and held them in place with tape.  Don't worry, I did not use any adhesive on the cables.  I do not have this shrink tubing so I am selling them in the present configuration.

Price new for these cables was $1000, so I am selling them at a pretty good discount, considering the limited use and condition.

Condition is very good.  You can see the condition of the bananas in the photos.  Covering is a soft, textured rubber (I think) that is quite supple and soft to the touch.  No cracks or breaks.  
Shipping weight will be about 5 lbs in a 12 x 12 x 4 box.
