Any recommendations for entry-level (i.e. low cost) speaker cables? I'm running basic 12-gauge wire right now between an NAD C326 amp and a pair of Totem Mites. I have about $200 to spend. Thanks for any help you can provide ...
Timrhu is right. Try to find a good deal on a pair of Audioquest. The Type 6 will be perfect for what you need. Unless you need a very long run, you should be able to get something for a lot less than $200.
JW Audio are shockingly good. And I'm not talking only "at their price point", but in general. Absolutely stunning value. There is a return policy as well, thus you don't stand to lose almost anything. Give them a try and you may find yourself not looking any further as far as speaker wire is concerned. I, for one, have replaced AQ type 8 ( @ $500 for 10' pair) with Speltz cables and then moved up to JW Audio. There's no turning back, they're so darn good...
Used cables are AWESOME...I scored a great sounding pair of AQ Type 8 from somebody for peanuts, as well as several pairs of great ICs here and there...you can sometimes get "demo" cables from high end shops also...consider them "pre broken-in."
