Hi,
On this page of your web site you show the frequency responses comparing
your Comice cable to standard 12 gauge zip cord, as measured at the speaker
terminals:
http://www.pearcable.com/sub_products_comice_frequencyresponse.htm
I have never seen normal zip cord exhibit a 6 dB drop at 20 KHz when used as
speaker wire with normal speakers and normal power amplifiers. I have never
seen normal zip cord exhibit even a 1 dB drop at 20 KHz for a length of only
14 feet. Would you be so kind as to give me more detail about the
"competitor" wire you tested, and also more information on the test
procedure itself?
The explanation about the low frequency roll-off on the above page also
makes no sense to me. If the voltage were measured at the speaker terminals
as you state, then the only roll-off from using a small woofer would be
acoustically in the air.
I don't understand this statement on the same page either:
"One final important note is that the frequency response
of cables will not, of course, give all the information
about how they will sound."
What else besides frequency response could a working speaker cable possibly
affect?
You're welcome to reply to this email but, even better, it would be great if
you reply at the public Martin-Logan forum where this page was brought to my
attention. Here's post #305 in that discussion where your site is linked:

Better still, would you be willing to loan me a set of your Comice speaker
cables so I can test them myself and see how they compare to standard 12
gauge zip cord?
Thanks very much for your consideration.
