Speaker Cable

Hello,

I would like to make my own cables to hook up my PA speakers to the PA amp.

I have purchased quality Speakon connectors.

Can anyone recommend (UK) some quality but reasonably priced cable?

I've learnt that the cables used for instrument leads should not be used for speaker casbles?

I am unsure what type of cable i should be using.

Links would be appreciated!

Many thanks Audiogon Community!

Canare StarQuad is similar, and great for less-important surround speakers' long lengths and other budget-sensitive projects. For affordable premade I have respect for Kimber's 4/8TC. No experience with the MUCH-cheaper to make 4/8PR they're marketing heavily. Teflon's expensive, but as a point in the system evolution may be warranted.
