Recommendations for cables based on components

I'm looking for some advice.
I'm currently using a Luxman 505UxII  amp with Harbeth SHL5 XD speakers and recently acquired a pair of Dynaudio Heritage Specials. I'm using a set of cables from Amaz.. GearIT 14AWG Premium Heavy Duty Braided Speaker Wire Cable (25 Feet) Dual Gold Plated Banana Plug Tips - In-Wall CL2 - Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) Black $23.
Any recommendations out there for upgrading these cables keeping costs in line with current equipment?   I really  am at a loss on budgeting for these and am thinking < $500. Would cables costing $300-500 for example have any improvement over my $23 ones? I do need 20-25 feet though due to room set up. Thanks  so much.

Depends. Best to try cables that you can return if you don’t like them.

Given the length of cables you need (I suspect you are talking 25 foot speaker cables) I would suggest you rather buy a good power cord for that Luxman and leave all else as is for now.

A pair of worthwhile 25 foot speaker cables that will make a noticeable difference will probably exceed your budget. Somebody else may have a recommendation that falls within your budget, but I don’t.
