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?

I’ve come down off the ladder from Straightwire Cresendo to Clear Day and now Dueland 16g. tin stranded wire.

Cables are a simple matter.  If you can hear a difference, you can then decide what you prefer and how much or how little you are willing to spend. 

If not, stick with Monoprice or the equivalent.

I once auditioned Magnepan 1.7's  at a high-end audio salon. The speaker cables they were using cost in excess of $5000.00.  The salesman told me "If you think this sounds good,  wait until you hear the $35,000 versions of these cables."

Right.

I discovered (step by step) how to make the ultimate no-loss speakercables back in the 90`s. The thruth is so simple that most "educated" audiophiles will not believe it.
this also made me rebuild my powerap, replacing the trafos++

Thick(!) clean solid-core copper all the way is the solution and cleaner, opener  3D and a lot better Dynamics are the result.

None of the "high-end" cable companies are even close to do this right.
