Inexpensive speaker cables

I am surprised with this many responses Anticables ' Level 2 were not mentioned . Using them myself . Delivered manufacturer-direct an 8 foot pair with pure copper spades all around will set you back $ 104  . Don't be put off by the low price !!   If you want to get off the cable merry-go-round you owe it to yourself to try these . At least read the customer testimonials on Paul's website . What really impressed me was how many mentioned what brands they had previously tried that were bettered by his no-frills , no nonsense product .I had Alpha Core Goertz Python Bi-wire copper and it was no contest . You can call and talk to the man yourself to answer questions . I have no financial connection to them or any other audio company .

I'd highly recommend a used pair of Acoustic Zen Satoris.  They are great all around cables, and if they don't work out you can turn around and sell them at little or no loss.  I've also found they pair well with B&W speakers.  Best of luck. 

I had been using Monster & Straightwire Cables, for Interconnects & Speakers for more than twenty years.   A couple of years ago I decided to try those made by James Schmitt (of Milwaukee), who Sells both on Audiogon and eBay and, boy, am Glad I did!  (I've Sold-off All of my Straightwire, which I was using in Three different All-Tube powered systems, driving Sonus Faber Speakers.)  Schmitt uses Studio Grade Cable, the same Cables that are used to Record and Perform live music, for both Interconnects and Speakers and they are Inexpensive.  Even Better, they sound Really Good!  Get Off the Designer Cable Merry-go-round and use that $ for something else.   

I myself am using a one foot pair of MG Audio Design top of line speaker wires which I attach to the speaker terminals of my present Martin/Logan SL-3 speakers.  Their  cost is $900 which is much lower than their 6 foot pair going for $4800.  Anyway I then attach 3 individual 18 gage Jenna Lab hook up wires to each and every-plus and minus-other ends of the MG Audio Design wires and hook them up to the speaker wire terminals to the amplifier being used itself.  That is 12 individual 18 gage Jenna Lab hook up wires beteen the amplifier and the one foot pair of MG Audio Design wires attached to the speakers.  The cost of the Jenna Lab hook up wires is $6 a foot.  A few years ago I was able to obtain a one foot pair of the then top of the line Shunyata speaker wires at the time and also had a bunch of Jenna Lab's 18 gage hook up wires to play around with and found out eventually that using three instead of one or two of the Jenna Lab 18 gage hook up wires works best.  It really works.   I have been using the top of the line Rega Orisis integrated amplifier and the results are truly impressive.  By the way, both Arnie Nudell and Paul Mcgowan use Mg Audio Design wires themself-Mr. Mcgowan to demo his Bascom King stuff these days at audio shows.  By the way I was kicked out of DIY Audio for presenting this same story-said it was spam.  Well my name is Alan Holvey and I live in Boulder Colorado and am only relating to you my observations.  I have no financial or personal involvement other than enjoying the results on my own audio system.

Canare 4S11. Outstanding bar none. You can buy it by the foot at Markertek and roll you're own or there are EBay sellers who offer ready made sets. Great for biwiring also.
