At USD999 for a 2m pair of Analysis Plus Silver Apex subwoofer cables with Speakon ends, this listing feels ambitious bordering on steep. New Silver Apex speaker cables start around USD1750 for a short 4-foot pair, scaling up sharply with length and terminations, while used pairs in good shape typically trade in the USD600-850 range on enthusiast forums—especially for subwoofer variants optimized for REL setups with Neutrik connectors. Without pristine condition photos or provenance, it's no steal, but could justify if mint and low hours.
Buyers, inspect the Speakon connectors closely for Neutrik authenticity and pin wear, as fakes or loose contacts plague these high-end terminations and kill bass grip. Verify the hollow-oval silver-over-copper braiding shows no oxidation or melting (seen in some as-is factory lots), and confirm bananas or spades on the amp end match your REL sub—missing or mismatched bits tank resale fast.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
