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.

Love the name calling. Y'all need to drink less coffee!

As for DIY, @williewonka and I just finished an epic DIY cable journey. Mine are still settling in, but the sound so far it's superb in my system. Clean, clear, lots of space, great dynamics, solid bass.. 

Mine cost me ~$200 to make a 6'  biwire pair. Obviously a single run would be cheaper and using no connecters even more so..

Randy - if you're interested, @williewonka proposed a mechanism for noise induction into the neutral.. check out his blog or the 'help me build speaker cables' thread here.

I'm in agreement on most super expensive commercial cables.. so much hype to differentiate each brand. Having gone the DIY route, I understand why cables can be hundreds of dollars: high quality, high purity wire isn't cheap. Once we get into cables costing thousands, I don't get it..
