I concur with the recommendation to start with Canare 4s8 or 4s11 as a baseline for further exploration, if you feel you need to. Buy whatever length you need from some place like https://www.markertek.com/. Don't bother with connectors at first, just twist together the white and red conductors in each cable and connect the bare wire to your amp and speaker terminals. Listen for a good long time and only then begin to explore if you feel it's necessary, or interesting.
speaker and interconnects, how nice do I need
I am putting a system together, It is a NAD c356bee integrated amp, dynaudio x14 bookshelf speakers, and Marantz sa8005 cd player. I put this together used for 2000, so I don't really want to spend another 2000 on cables. What level of cables matches the level of components, I was hoping to stay under 200 for the pair of interconnects and speaker cables, so @ 100 each, is this possible. Is my system still on the economical side to the point that it does not matter much, or will I notice a big difference between cables.
