I would like to suggest trying ZCables Purple Passion or Black Magic cable. Not knowing you exact length, it may be close to staying within the budget. Their website is www.zcable.com
Speaker Cable Recommendation
I have the Krell KAV-500 amp and Dynaudio Contour 3.0 speakers. I'd be interested in hearing anybody's opinion on an excellent 3-figure (new or used) set of cables to connect them. I listen to mostly rock/pop, with a fair amount of Jazz thrown in. Also, the next upgrade is going to be for a beefier two-channel Krell amp if that figures into any recommendation somebody might have.
