Need speaker cable

Hello everyone,

I am a regular reader of forum, but it’s my first post. I use odyssey cyclops integrated amp and Maggie 1.7i speakers. So far I have been using a Basic 12 gauge speaker wire. I am looking at buying a speaker cable and my budget is around $500. Please let me know your suggestions.

+3 for Canare 4S11. Transparent; allows faithful reproduction from your components.

Two very different cables.... Canare 4S11 = 4x14AWG,
AQ Type 4 = 2x17AWG + 2x20AWG.

Yes, Canare is completely different. In addition to the above specs, it is made up of 4 stranded copper conductors, AQ uses solid conductors.
Two very different sounding cables.

I don't understand all the hate for low-cost speaker cables such as Canare. I replaced my $2500 Purist with Canare 4S11 and music has a better sense of realism.
Maybe the naysayers haven't played through the very long break-in period. Mostly I think they've never heard them.
