Need help buying new speaker cable


My Tara Labs Apollo speaker cable broke at the negative terminal end.  I will need to replace them.  What cables would you recommend?  I would like to know what cables out there would be comparable.  I would like to upgrade but they need to be affordable. A local dealer recommended Audioquest Robin Hood’s but they cost $2,000.  I just can’t spend that much money.  I am looking at Audioquest Rocket 88’s for $1,150.  Any ideas?  I would also like to know what the sound difference be compared to my Appolo’s?  I still have a difficult time you can hear a sound difference between one cable and another.

dsper,,

It is pretty obvious you don't believe hi higher quality speaker cable.  Do you use lamp card to wire your speakers on you system?

My Tara Labs have stranded rather than solid metal in their construction.  Guy at Audioquest told me their Robin Hood's will change the sound of my system.  He seemed to be knowledgeable and truthful.  My speaker manufacture told me the same.
The ONLY answer: The Cable Company. Try before you buy. Get 5-6 pairs of cables, spend a week or two critically listening, buy the ones that suit your system and your preferences best. If you cannot hear a difference, either your hearing is bad, or your system (speakers, electronics, ?) is lacking.
Only way to  to know definitively is to try em. Your system, your ears.  
Looks like the majority indicates repair existing otherwise.  
Knowitall10   You may not notice the difference in cables with a Triton one R tower due to their wild impedance response. Too much signal obscurity using coil speakers and passive crossovers.  Certainly no difference with anything higher than 3N purity unless you get your conductor configuration below 4 ohms.  Even then the difference is a long shot.  At this impedance and being unbalanced, there is no indication for shielding to lower noise.  As you know from your EE and cable background the entire scheme of signal transmission needs to be redeveloped, otherwise like many readers, a satisfactory end point is never reached.
