Speaker Cables : Moderate priced


I am about to embark on upgrading speaker cables ( long over due ).  Currently use Tributaries 12 awg UL copper cable.  I need a long run for one speaker ( about 20 feet) and this has impacted the budget.  I hope to spend around 1500 dollars.  Looking for a musical tonally rich sound.  I am not a detail nut.

Looking at the usual options:  triode Wire, Audio Art Copper, Ice Age, Luna cables to name a few.

Wonder what the crowd has experienced in this price range; and open to new suggestions.

JPS Labs Superconductor 3 speaker cables!!! This cable has been around for years and is no longer being produced. But, I can tell you that these preform at such a high level of proficiency that they will make you question the need to spend more. And, for what the can be had for preowned, the superconductor 3 becomes an even greater value.  Phenomenal performers!!!  I just recently upgraded all the  cables in my system except for my JPS Labs Superconductor 3 speaker cables, which I’ve been using for almost 15 years now. Yes, I have brought in other cables for audition, but none of them were able to beat out the JPS Labs cables, especially for the money. I feel that my beloved speakers, and my beloved Superconductor 3 speaker cables are two of my greatest and wisest audio purchases in over 30 years in high end audio.

Trust me on this one.  Go on the used market and seek out a nice pair of JPS Labs Superconductor 3 speaker cables.  No need to look any further up the JPS Labs line or anywhere else.  The Superconductor 3 speaker cables are some of the best speaker wire, IMHO, at anywhere near what they retailed for and way beyond (and they were definitely not cheap retail).  With the Superconductor 3, you won't have to go any further or spend more.  The Superconductor 3 could be your end-game speaker wire (they certainly are mine).  Over the past 12 years, I've upgraded every cable in my system, including my most recent cable upgrades, and my JPS Labs Superconductor 3 speaker cables were the only cables that I kept.
