Synergistic Research’s new Galileo product line may well be the most expensive cables in the world and were the topic of several conversations around RMAF -- at these prices, they garner an opinion of one sort or another from just about everyone. One run of speaker cables consists of many individual cables and a couple components. Most obvious are the Galileo "boxes" that contain Synergistic's proprietary active-shielding technology, then there are the cables that run between the boxes that Synergistic calls "strings" and then more cables run from the amp to the first box, and then from the second box to the loudspeaker. These "actively shielded" cables are priced at $40,000 for a pair of speaker cables and $25,000 for a pair of interconnects. If you get one set of speaker cables and two sets of interconnects, which is the minimum number of cables for most systems, that's $90,000! Not for the feint of wallet, that’s for sure.
