Speaker cable suggestion for new system

I recently upgraded my old stereo system - well, perhaps I should say replaced as the only thing left at this point are my old Monster XP1 cables.

So, after spending a few dollars, my new system now consists of:

Creek Destiny integrated
Music Hall CD25.2
PSB Synchrony OneBs
Nordost Baldur interconnect

Am hoping that I can get some good recommendations on cables to replace the Monsters. Right now I am looking at Audioquest GBC (which looks like a pretty good deal at HMC Audio), or possibly Kimberkable 4TC. Frankly, I am not looking at spend tons of dough on the cables, but am looking for a good value for the $.

Thanks in advance for the advice!

Jonsocal,
I had once tried your method in a secondary location, and an ordinary quality wall panel/plate eliminates any chance to get the best sound from your speaker cable purchase.
Unless it is impossible, first try out-in-the-open.
Next, compare to your invisible speaker wire hook-up technique.
Then, make your own (easy) decision.

I really like my Pear Comice speaker cables. I think they are outstanding for the price.

I agree with Tweak1 on the Clear Day Solid Core speaker cables. I bought these to try out on my Zu Druid speakers and they sound real good. They replaced my kimber 4tc that i had in there before. For the price of $125 8ft pair you can't go wrong. I bought the solid core silver cables instead of the copper. Don't know how the copper sound but the silver sounds real nice on my all tube system.

Start with power cords at the source and then your integrated. I reccomend looking for some shunyata power cords, integrated diamond back maybe, and the cdp maybe an old taipin or something. What is your budget? This should give you much more than cables if you get a good pc on cdp and integrated.
