For a second system I too would not want to dump a lot of cash on wires. I just read about Raven cables, and on their website their Soniquil balanced interconnects are listed at $119 and come with a 45-day trial period. What intrigues me about these is that they seem very well made, and the designer used them at shows with $40k worth of his top electronics that he also makes, and his rooms get rave reviews. That says a lot to me, so they certainly seem worth a shot.
Another cheaper per option would be Cullen Copper XLR interconnects that cost a very reasonable $95. Hope this helps, and best of luck.
