Best cheap speaker cables............again

Hello all,
I will apologize in advance for asking this question as it is probably one of the most discussed topics
I am looking for some recommendations for a good single wire speaker cable. I am driving a pair of Vienna Haydn's with a pair of Cary tube mono blocks. My old speakers were bi wired and the Haydn's are not. I can't re terminate my current cables so I'm looking at some new wires. Budget under $300.00 and the runs are about 7 feet long. My initial thoughts have been Morrow, signal cable, AQ type 4, zu mission for new cables, but I am certainly not against buying used.

Thanks

If one is still looking for the best CHEAP speaker cable then I have a suggestion for anyone in the market.
Don't laugh or be a naysayer unless you have tried this...just saying!
Go to Home Depot or Lowe's and get yourself some 12 gauge "SOLID" core copper wire. Something like this: http://www.lowes.com/pd_70012-295-28828221_4294722493__?productId=1098043&Ns=p_product_qty_sales_dollar%7C1&pl=1¤tURL=%3FNs%3Dp_product_qty_sales_dollar%7C1%26page%3D2&facetInfo=
Give it about an hour of break in time and you might be surprised how good it sounds for $16.

All I'm suggesting is that 12 gauge solid core copper wire (the type run in the
wall for AC wiring) sounds ridiculously good for the price. Personally I use
HiDiamond D8 speaker wire in one system and JPS Lab SuperConductor 3 in the
other.
