How much money on speaker cable?


I am having trouble deciding how much money to spend on speaker cables. I am building a modest system (around $5000) I have been considering spending up to 600 dollars on used Kimber Kable or Transparents. Does anyone think this is to much for just a Classe/Totem set up? Would I noticed the difference if I only spent 250 on some Audioquests? Thanks

My suggestion once you have the system in place is to purchase used cables for reputable sellers here and experiment. It's fun and informative if you don't mind selling the cables that don;t work in your system.
After using countless cables ranging from inexpensive Canare 4S11 to super expensive Straightwire Blac Silc I keep going back to Audioquest solid conductor wires. After JPS labs, DH labs, Kimber, Analysis Plus, and others I have settled on the AQ Slate biwired and feel no need to look further. Not saying they are the cables for you but speaker cables do make a difference and the only way to know which is best for you is to listen.
