Speaker Cable Suggestions


I would appreciate any suggestions on speaker cable choices.  I will be using the following components:
Krell Chorus 5 channel amp
Krell Foundation processor
Oppo 205 Blue Ray
Sequerra Tuner
B&W 802's & Center Channel
My budget is $1500.00 Max, I am looking at used Kimber, Cardas, Audioquest or the new Silnote Orion-M2 Master
Reference.
Any thoughts will be greatly appreciated.

chrisr,

I bought 9999 pure silver wire on Ebay. I use no connectors. This sounds far better than any high end speaker wires I have ever used,

You stated "Buy some cheap cable and use against the others to test against it. Be sure to do the testing blind and see what you find out.
Silver won’t change anything except your wallet size, and there is no reason at all to spend a lot of $$ on cable, tho various configurations can change the sound (tho they may not universally improve it)."

With regards to price, pure 9999 silver is cheaper than even most cheap speaker wires you will buy from a cable/wire company. With regards to blind testing, I agree. And silver is a great way to start testing. IMO.
randy-11,

It is hard to get overcharged for silver if you do a comparison of the sellers on Ebay. Compared to the prices charged by the manufacturers of most silver cables, the cost of making your own silver speaker wires is very reasonable.
