Best lower end cables for B&W speakers...?

Hello Everyone,
I’m relatively new to mid grade audio equipment and recently purchased a pair of B&W 702 S2’s and a HTM71 S2 center channel. To me, they are very clear and unforgiving speakers. I also use a Velodyne sub, but not all the time. So far I’ve been in love with them but am using borrowed speaker cable, straight 12 guage, to just try.

The Blue Jeans certainly seem reasonable enough, but in my head cables may be more speaker specific than a lot of other applications so I wanted to see if folks had used Canare 4s11 or some other cable that would be 500 and under per pair with their B&W’s. I can get these for 150 and certainly seem reasonable.
At 150, if they don’t work it won’t be the end of the world but figured I’d try here to see what people thought who had B&W’s

If you want a nice project and have the skills I would recommend https://youtu.be/Uqx6VhWq9E8 This video includes the use of Mogami W3104. I have used many different cables over the years and have been very satisfied with Mogami. BTW Mogami's RCA can be used as coax cables. Mogami cables like Canare  have been used to create and produce legendary recordings . 
Transparent cables 1/2 the time IMO get a bum rap that is not really justified .Transparent Cables will work very well with certain types of electronics and speakers. I can say two things critical with transparent. They must be used with the entire system. If Possible when ordering you should tell your dealer about your system. Today I have 5 different systems and they are 95% Mogami
