Speaker Cable Recommendation


I'm wondering if someone could recommend a pair of speaker cables.  I have looked at Nordost entry level, but they may be too thin for my system. Looking for cables that may add some "weight" to the following system.

Decware 300b tube amp (8watts),  Klipsch Forte IV,   Holo May Dac, PS Audio BHK Pre with 12AU7 input tubes. My room is 20X12, not treated, vaulted ceiling, fair amount of glass. Not a great room :) In the $1,000.00 range

Thanks, Mark

Thank you for the recommendations, I ended up with a pair of Art Audio Cables, AAC Statement e SC Cryo Speaker Cable, 15' . Had them build with white jacket to keep my wife happy.

Should be seeing them this week.

 

Thank you for all your comments and advice. This forum is an amazing source when researching equipment. I understand that cables can be a contentious subject. I do take the majority of suggestions, and comments into account when researching. I do however treat audio as a hobby, and not a practical endeavor, so comparing higher priced gear with lower, SET vs high watt amps, Speaker DB's, Vinyl vs DAC, it's interesting. Sitting here on a rainy New England day, with my wife out of town, I have the living room filled with speakers, amps, cables, experimenting with sound in my not so perfect room.

     Right now I am listening to a Chinese DAC, Decware 7 watt tube amp, feeding 6ohm, 88db Electa Amator speakers with cheapo 16/2 cables.... odd combo...sounds great!

ghdprentice  I have been using Transparent Cables, and liked them. I moved my gear and now I need about 12' to the speakers. I could get Transparent again, but if I'm going to spend the $, curious if there is a better match for my system.

Thanks newbee  I appreciate your comments, this system is in my living room, and I have family considerations in regards to treatments, and other upgrades. I have simple 16/2 cable serving the speakers now, but I'm curious what may be a good fit with low watt, high efficiency speakers. They dont have to be expensive.

You're the second to mention Mogami, I'll be looking at those

Thanks mike_in_nc   I realize cables wont fix the room, but this is the room I have. I'm not looking to treat the room at this point. I'm not a purest, so I dont mind compromise. The system sounds great as it is, but I do need longer cables, so why not ask the question.
