Speaker cable advice

I am currently looking for a new pair of speaker cables.
My current setup is a pair of CARY SLM 70 tube monoblocks, a counterpoint sa-3000 preamp, cal icon mk2 power boss, rega planar 3 with an rb600 arm with a denon 103 cartridge and PSB stratus goldi speakers. I am currently running morrow ma2 ic's (great cable by the way) and audioquest type 4 speaker cables biwired. My budget is around $500, and I only need about 4 foot runs. I am considering goertz, kimber, xlo, etc. I would like them to be biwired
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Just about anything you get will be better than what you have now. I used to use AQ4, it is junk. If you like Morrow cables, try them first.

I was going to suggest Morrow cables :-)

I still will, except to note that I've found that the more more individual strands, the better they sound. Seriously better. This applies both to speaker cables and ICs (haven't tried the power cords).

Look into DNM Stereo Speaker cables. They are solid core copper, will fit into your budget, and bested everything that I have had in my system over the last 15 years.
Good-luck

I've used Morrows and while they are decent,I find ZU Mission or Libtec better.
IMHO 7-8 feet is required foe SC's to sound their best.

Anti-cables are inexpensive, and endorsed by the Absolute Sound and me.
