Need speaker cable

Hello everyone,

I am a regular reader of forum, but it’s my first post. I use odyssey cyclops integrated amp and Maggie 1.7i speakers. So far I have been using a Basic 12 gauge speaker wire. I am looking at buying a speaker cable and my budget is around $500. Please let me know your suggestions.

JW Audio. Like Anticables but better.
I'm selling my 10' pair for $49

I bought a pair of speaker cables from a guy Bill on this site that makes them. Can’t recall his moniker but they’re nicely terminated and sound great. They’re not as transparent as the Nordost Frey 2 that they replaced but they were like $300. I’m more in the 20% of cost camp.

FWIW, Audio Envy has a new speaker cable out, the SP-9. I have a pair on the way and will compare it to my Canare 4S11, which I am very happy with.

I don't understand all the hate for low-cost speaker cables such as Canare. I replaced my $2500 Purist with Canare 4S11 and music has a better sense of realism.
Maybe the naysayers haven't played through the very long break-in period. Mostly I think they've never heard them.

Hi Sudharl,

Blue Jeans Cable for value and dependability.  " Ultrasonically-Welded Connections on Terminated Speaker Cables." 
Happy tunes and keep your stick flat on the ice.
