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.

I had been using AntiCables with my Spatial Audio M3's and was well pleased with them until I found a more expensive Analysis Plus speaker cable . What is special about AP cables is their patented geometry which is used in all their cables ,regardless of price .
  I have not tried their cable in your price range, but feel confident that their impulse response should be the best you'll find . Less certain is the conductor quality at this price point vs competitors with simpler,cheaper geometry . The eBay vendor http://www.ebay.com/usr/cguitargear777 has the best price for new cable, but you can find used at times .

When there is a sale, which is almost always, Morrow Audio has good speaker cables relatively inexpensive at the low end.  Remember that the less resolving the system, the less you will notice any change in speaker wire.

Nothing is going to rock your world regarding a speaker wire change! Maybe if what you have now is 22 gauge wire or similar

+1 on @moto_man post. Morrow has like %40 off now. And as others have suggested Blue Jean Cables are a solid value buy. I have used there interconnects for years until recently dabbling in high end products.
