I have borrowed a number of sub-$1,500 speaker cables from The Cable Company in recent months.  Cardas, DHLabs, Shunyata, Kimber & RSX.  I thought the highest value for the money were the RSX cables.  They get out of the way—transparent & natural.  Not the last level in detail, but plenty.  I haven’t decided whether to buy them or spring for some much more expensive Cardas cables.

i have a vintage solid state Krell integrated (re-capped) and Audio Physic Virgo speakers.  My interconnects are Cardas Clear Beyond.

Best of luck finding something that works for you.

Would highly recommend duelund cables;  

very comparable to my Cardas reflections when comparing interconnects; duelund were a tad bit more vibrant and a lot lower cost. Cardas were warmer. 
 

much prefer the duelunds to my anticable level 4.1 speaker wires; at least in my low power horn setup.

Good luck

 

 

You can get quite good speaker cables from Home Depot or Lowes.

Get two spools of SmithWire 12 gauge THHN stranded copper wire, one red, one black.  Twist the wire 3 to 4 turns per foot between the amp and speakers.  Use the bare copper if you want, or terminate with banana plugs.  

It's an inexpensive and good preforming $25 alternative to $1,000+ cables.
