Speaker cable suggestions


I am just starting to play with speaker cables. Does anyone have suggestions for an anthem integrated biamped with a Parasound HCA 500 running to Paradigm Studio 60's? The anthem interated powers the midbass/midrange, and the parasound is powering the tweeters. I am using Straightwire Rhythm right now. Thanks for your help.

My system isn't exactly ultra high end, so I was thinking like 100-150 bucks. Perhaps the low end Transparent cable? I don't have much experience with it though.
Actually right now I am using the straightwire for the run to the midbass and some cheap soncace 14awg for the run to the tweeter. I figured I would move the straightwire to the tweeter and by more quality cable to run to the midbass. Should I get the same cable for both runs? The parasound is quite different sounding than the anthem amp section, so I figured different cables would be best.
Thanks for the help everyone. As for length, I was thinking about 8'. I was upgrading with the midbass first and then making my way up the chain. I have to start somewhere. I'm finding that 50 Hz is being overamplified in my system and I wasn't sure if it was the room, cables, speakers, or system in general.
Just so everyone knows, I am not biwiring here, only biamping. I could use the same cable on tweeter and midbass, but I have different amplifiers on each. So I have to find cable that works well with both amps. Currently I am working on the midbass cable, once that is complete I will work on the tweeter cable.
