Who makes budget speaker cables which are truly “good” or “exceptional” in quality?

A dealer of mine convinced me into buying Analysis Plus speakers cables that I have enjoyed for a few years now. I noticed some other companies making speaker cables for many multiples of $1k and wondered how many truly good companies are making budget speaker cables nowadays? Who are they? What are the prices?  I had Blue Jean speaker cables some years back and thought they were as good as the Analysis Plus brand I have now. What is your brand?

Bryston makes a pretty good cable for around $200.  It's a quad 12 and configures to a 9AWG at each terminal.  Comes with spades/banana terminations and is very flexible.

I cut the ends off a set of cables to "upgrade" to WBT Next Gen Banana plugs (bad mistake).  Bryston, I believe, epoxies the banana plugs to ensure no vibrations enter the cavity where the conductor meets the plug.  Anyway, I found four 12AWG(measured) conductors are used.  Two are twisted for the  plus side and two to the negative side.  I am not sure who makes the cable for Bryston, but on one site, it was suggested Wireworld does the actual manufacturing.  For further info just call 1 800 632 8217 for a Bryston rep.
