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.  

 

I really wanted Audience AU24SX speaker cables. But a bi-wire pair were a little too much to import.

Ended up with Auditorium A23. Similar sound signature to Auditorium.

Found them on Hifi Shark in Norway. Around $700 including shipping to New Zealand. A new pair of A23 jumpers brought it close to US$1000.

Well I am just going to say it! Give the Chinese guys a look, they are producing some of the best hifi right now and in my experience many of their speaker & Interconnect cables offer tangible, compelling performance & Value propositions that put many of the North American and European offerings to shame.
