I have been using Alpha-Core MI2 speaker cable with my Bryston 4B-ST / 5B-ST power amps for about two years, and have been very pleased with their performance (I also use their Sapphire interconnects). I think the Alpha-Core line of cables offers excellent performance for the price, and is within your budget. There have been a number of reviews and comments on Audiogon about Alpha-Core cables, so do a search in the archives to learn more. Also take a look at Alpha-Core's web site for more info: http://www.alphacore.com/goertz.htm

Bryston 4B-ST, conrad johnson PF-1 (next upgrade probably)and Thiel 3.6s: What speaker cables and interconnects do you like?
I'm using various budget Audioquest products. Amp and preamp are about three feet apart while speakers are about 12 feet from the amp. Budget is about $500-600 for both cables and interconnects. Mostly jazz, but almost any other type of music. Albums and CDs. Big undamped room (33x14x8) with three concrete walls and floor. Lots of plush furniture, carpet and some wall treatments however. Thiels do not sound bright or harsh unless the recording is bright or harsh.
What works for your setup and why do you think so? Thanks in advance!
