Speaker cable recommendations in my budget

I really hate to open this can of worms. I know people tend to be very passionate about their cables and how heretical someone else’s choice is.  But, here goes anyway.

if it matters, I have a Denon AVR4806 & JM Labs speakers. Both are about 7 or 8 yrs old. I need 8’-10’. I really only want to spend less than $150 but, I’d go to $200 if there some phenomenal cable that would rock my world.

On the site & in that range are: AntiCabled, Schmitt, PS Audio, Audio Quest, NBS Serpent, Harmonic Tech & Audio Quest Serpent.

Do any of you see the glaring top 2 or 3 I should pick from? There’s now real audio shop around me that sells this stuff.

PLEASE: Don’t recommend dumping my receiver or speakers & no fights.

A used pair of Kimber 8T are still an excellent value.

Without question: JW Audio.
Sold on Audiogon.
I'm using his cables with my Spatial M3 Turbo S and love them.

I would say either the JW Audio cables or Speltz Anticables.  I had the Anticables for many years and it took a MUCH more expensive set of cables (over $700) to beat the sound in all ways.  I bought at least 5-6 different sets of cables and always returned to the Antis--at about $80 for an 8 ft. pair, it's a no brainer at your price.

The PS Audio cables are sleeping giants.  They never got the accolades they deserved.  lots of cooper in those cables.  Great highs and mods, and the most amazing bottom end of any non network cable I have heard that are 5 times the price.
