I am selling a 2.5M pair of Shunyata Anaconda ZiTron speaker cables with Shunyata STIS banana plugs on the amp end and spades on the speakers. They are in perfect condition sonically and electrically, and excellent condition cosmetically. Since the Anacondas use the Shunyata terminator interchange system (STIS), I will include four Shunyata STIS multi-spade terminators (see below) that you can use to convert to all spades if you prefer. The multi-spades are the original terminators that came with the cables.

You will be hard pressed to match the quality of the Anacondas at this price. There are many reviews that you can read online, including this one written by Robert Harley of The Absolute Sound when the Anacondas were introduced: 
"Since I installed ANACONDA interconnects and loudspeaker cables about six months ago, they haven’t left my system except for critical listening comparisons. In that time, I’ve had the $200,000 “The Sonus Faber” loudspeaker, the $78,000 TAD Reference One, and the $90,000 Focal Stella Utopia EM, along with world- class BAlabo and Constellation electronics through my listening room. Although that is lofty company, the ANACONDAs proved themselves fully up to this level of equipment." 
 
Here is Shunyata's summary of the technologies used in the manufacture of the Anacondas:
Cohergenic Conductors Shunyata uses a specially designed electromagnetic field to align the molecular structure of their copper conductors. Applied during the extrusion process, the result is greater coherency and superior conductivity.  
Alpha Cryo Process Shunyata Research cryogenically treats all wire and electrical contacts used in the production of its signal cables. A state-of-the-art computer controlled chamber is used to lower the temperature of the contents to -320 degrees Fahrenheit. This exclusive process uses a proprietary combination of gases to enhance the cryogenic treatment.
CDA-101 Copper CDA-101 copper is the highest purity copper available, with signed certifications to verify its authenticity and purity. Shunyata Research exclusively uses CDA-101 copper for their electrical products, from signal cables to power cords and power conditioners.
VTX Wire Geometry Long known for ultra-complex wire geometries which measurably improve conductivity and desirable characteristics, Shunyata has developed a new geometry which greatly reduces the so-called “skin-effect”. Skin-effect is a distortion caused by differing speeds of conductivity between the center of the conductor (where the bass travels) and the outer part or skin of the conductor where the midrange and treble travel. Skin-effect plagues both stranded and solid core wire, causing smearing, timing and phase errors, in some cases even changes in tonal balance. The ideal conductor is a hollow tube, but this is wildly impractical in the real world, so using DTCD analysis, Shunyata created a new type of wire geometry which is a "virtual tube" greatly reducing skin effect and improving conductivity. Termination
STIS Shunyata Speaker Cables ship standard with Shunyata’s proprietary STIS Multi-Spades. These ingenious spades work with the vast majority of binding posts and are part of Shunyata’s STIS swappable connector system. Shunyata offers other configurations via STIS (e.g. Bananas, 6mm spades, or 8mm spades), which may be purchased separately.

NOTE ON SERIAL NUMBERS: The serial numbers on these cables are not in sequence as they would normally be for a pair of Shunyata cables. I checked with Shunyata and both serial numbers are valid and the cables were manufactured on the same day (12/22/15). 
  
These cables are fully broken in and sound great.
