Inexpensive speaker cables

the funny thing is you have this fancy fat wire going from the amp to the binding post and this really skinny wire going from the binding post to the speaker or crossover. 

I've tried a number of cables over the years, all with their own unique sonic-signature.  I try to steer-clear of cables with higher capacitance in general  as they seem to roll-off the treble.  That said, I have to agree with gdnrbob and nonoise regarding ZU cables.  I'm using the Event-1's and they have been the best IMHO than the rest I've tried.  Triode Wire Labs also are really good cables.  Both of these though are over your price-range but both will give you a trial period and no worries on returns...  Good Luck ! 

I am surprised with this many responses Anticables ' Level 2 were not mentioned . Using them myself . Delivered manufacturer-direct an 8 foot pair with pure copper spades all around will set you back $ 104  . Don't be put off by the low price !!   If you want to get off the cable merry-go-round you owe it to yourself to try these . At least read the customer testimonials on Paul's website . What really impressed me was how many mentioned what brands they had previously tried that were bettered by his no-frills , no nonsense product .I had Alpha Core Goertz Python Bi-wire copper and it was no contest . You can call and talk to the man yourself to answer questions . I have no financial connection to them or any other audio company .

I'd highly recommend a used pair of Acoustic Zen Satoris.  They are great all around cables, and if they don't work out you can turn around and sell them at little or no loss.  I've also found they pair well with B&W speakers.  Best of luck. 

I had been using Monster & Straightwire Cables, for Interconnects & Speakers for more than twenty years.   A couple of years ago I decided to try those made by James Schmitt (of Milwaukee), who Sells both on Audiogon and eBay and, boy, am Glad I did!  (I've Sold-off All of my Straightwire, which I was using in Three different All-Tube powered systems, driving Sonus Faber Speakers.)  Schmitt uses Studio Grade Cable, the same Cables that are used to Record and Perform live music, for both Interconnects and Speakers and they are Inexpensive.  Even Better, they sound Really Good!  Get Off the Designer Cable Merry-go-round and use that $ for something else.
