Im going to regret my cable question

Having read so many "do speaker cables matter" threads, reviews, etc., over the years I am going to open up this can of worms again. So here goes.

I would like some opinions on the pairing of my amp, speakers, and a possible upgrade of speaker cables. My kit consists of a Rotel Michi X3, S2 and Monitor Audio Gold 300 G5's.

Would anyone venture a suggestion on what might be a good fit, with a budget of no more than $1200 CND.

I currently have Audioquest Type 4 which are some years old by now. Im looking at AQ Rocket 33 or 44's but I am open to other brands.

Although I understand the "coat hangers work just as well" theory I would prefer only constructive suggestions from those who feel there is a benefit to cable upgrades please.

Cheers.

If you’re hunting for high-quality USB or Ethernet cables that won’t break the bank (around $300), I can’t recommend Missing Bond enough. Handcrafted in France, these cables punch way above their price tag—and come with a return policy in case they don’t blow you away (though I seriously doubt you’ll be sending them back).

I recently went all in: I replaced every single cable in my system with custom-made Missing Bond cables. The result? Not only did I upgrade the sound, but it didn’t cost me a cent. By selling off my previous stash of overpriced cables, I actually came out ahead.

There’s also something to be said for synergy. Having all your cables from the same manufacturer—sharing the same design DNA—matters. It brings a kind of coherence and consistency that’s hard to ignore.
