Inexpensive speaker cables: any experience?


I’m currently running some entry Kimber Kable speaker cables and looking at possibly upgrading. In my research I’ve come across some “budget” options on eBay. I assume they’re not great but curious if anyone has any experience with some “no-name” or “budget” cables? 
 

Thoughts on these? 

Thanks!

Depends on amps and speakers.

My digital amp needs a lower current but different config than my analog amps.

My Maggies like a fire hose, Proac’s and Maggies dont need that much attention. 

Wire wound and tie with ends. Sound like can with string, like walk talkie. Magic word like I don’t know not part from lip, truth not be in them like fisherman, and breath smell of strong drink.

 

Long answer,  nobody know until tie on radio. 

@muvluv What if I told you gold was a significantly inferior conductor to copper?  about 30% more resistance. So  your solid gold speaker wires would have to be heavier gauge.....

 

I believe you, but i was thinking about stranded wire also if you could afford gold wire i don't think price is an issue 

If you want a brighter cable, this could be an option, $40 - $50 for 5ft pair.
