Best value for the buck speaker cables

'potentially stupid question' what an interesting concept.
In response to Jeff: yes you can. When a cable is advertised at 'bi-wired', that is generally what it means. This can mean internally biwired, which means they are bound within the came case, or external which is two normal cables that are connected only at the amp end. Internal biwires can half the normal conductors for each wire.

On the topic of 'cheap cables'. I found the oval 9 to be an excellent cable by any measure. It is a little slow compared to the OCOS cable I tried, but more detailed. Very smooth. On that topic, the ocos is a great value too. Very quick with a good level of detail. As a general comment, you really do have to match your speaker cables to your equipment. Find some recommendations by reading reviews and asking around, then buy a few used cables on audiogon. Working with a retail dealer who can loan you cables is a good option too. It is amazing the sonic differences brought about by a change in speaker cables.

ANALYSIS PLUS OVAL 9 is an excellent choice,i have invested lot's of money in both speaker cable and interconnects,and i do agree that some are better than other's,but getting past the hype and flavor of the month brand,THE oval 9's are a bargain for their level of performance.THEIR ic's are just as good,both the copper or silver. good luck.

Kimber 8TC with postmaster term. is the best bang for the buck IMO, but MIT 750 series 2 and 3 is a big step up in my system, YMMV. Haven't heard the MIT terminator series.

I have recently auditioned the Harmonic Technology Pro-11 with Rhodium spades.Also on hand was Kimber 8TC with postmaster spades.I found these 2 cables very similar in sound with the H.T. beating the 8TC in bass and smoothness but the differences were small.Next in line was a bi-wire MIT Terminator-2 w/ I-conn banana termination.The other cables went back the next day.The T-2's opened my stage up in width and depth.They have great detail but yet dont sound forward.The bass is the best I've heard so far in my system.Focus and imaging is much better.I'm glad I tried them!
