Speaker cable manufacturers

Hi all,
Not looking for recommendations specifically for a particular model of speaker cable, but looking to start by considering the companies themselves. I have a budget of $700 for a used set of 8ft pair of cables. My speakers are DIY Peerless and Sb tweeter 3 way hybrid open baffles. I want to try to avoid the cable-merry-go-round and go with a company the is generally highly regarded for making good stuff (low risk). I am considering Analysis Plus, JPS Labs. The only reason I am not considering the ultra small manufacturers is because I want to have the ability to sell later if need be and some of the really small guys don't have the recognition yet. Any additional manufacturers recommendations are welcomed

Good bang for the buck and some what known you might want to consider:
Cerious Technologies speaker cables Nano Signature
Snake River Audio (many levels offered there)
Other wise all the major manufactures that you can easily see by looking at speaker cables listed on this website. There are so many it makes my head spin.

Lak, the manufacturers you recommend have nearly all of their products start above $1000, well above the OP's $700 budget. I'm not sure I would classify that as a "good bang for the buck".

I wouldn't dismiss the smaller companies just yet, as some of them have very good reputations with very good resale values. A couple examples that come to mind are Homegrown Audio and Clear Day.

Cable company doesn't manufacturers wires. they buy wire to make the cable, they manipulate the wires differently to create different sound. I've been using Clear Day and Connex Audio solid core 100% silver cable for many years and never thought of selling them. After all, Silver is less resistance and the best conductor known to man?

The companies I mentioned can be purchased new or used for $700 or less I believe. Just trying to add a bit of detention into the mix vs. the bigger better known companies.
