Source for Belden 9497 speaker wire?

Try Blue Jeans Cable.

Try Anixter--i have had success buying less than full spools (remnants) from them. Here's a link:

Much appreciated Kjweisner!

Looks like Mouser sells 100' spools of 89259.

Anixter will quote by the foot, but imagine you need to order at least 25 to
30 feet.

If you need some let me know. Vince

Plenty on Ebay so not sure why it was hard to find.

They presently are, but when I put up the original post back in 2014, they weren't as prevalent.

Just an update, am in the process of acquiring a pair of Mast-Mutter Altec 846A crossovers from a fellow Agon-er and thankfully, he is including his Belden wiring.  So I will get to see how the new crossovers pair with a stock pair Valencia's (which I already consider to be great sounding).

So can I assume you bought some, how do they sound? 

Haven't received the X-overs yet but I hope to have them by mid-January.  I'll run them for awhile and then share my thoughts.

Happy Holidays. 

The very best belden equivalent manufacturer is 1X Technologies Cable Company. 

Much better quality at a really fair price and you can get short runs on a lot of cables.

Not available in the UK despite an initial seach does anyone know if this is avalable off the reel in the UK?
Thanks

@x1
and what makes it better than Belden ?

Just a slightly tangent update to this thread. I found a seller here on Agon who goes by the handle "vox".  He has a source of NOS Western Electric KS13385L-1 26 Strand 16awg on the reel that he used to make an 8-foot pair of speaker cables with smaller spades on one end for my Altec Valencia 846A speakers and bananas on the other end to plug into my Shindo Lafon monoblocs.  I've been running them since March 2018 in place of my Auditorium 23 speaker cables with very good results.  You might want to check him out.  Very reasonably priced.  Down the road, I may buy some Dueland cable manufacturered like the NOS WE cable just to A/B them for grins.
