Speaker Cables : Moderate priced

I am about to embark on upgrading speaker cables ( long over due ).  Currently use Tributaries 12 awg UL copper cable.  I need a long run for one speaker ( about 20 feet) and this has impacted the budget.  I hope to spend around 1500 dollars.  Looking for a musical tonally rich sound.  I am not a detail nut.

Looking at the usual options:  triode Wire, Audio Art Copper, Ice Age, Luna cables to name a few.

Wonder what the crowd has experienced in this price range; and open to new suggestions.

Are you suggesting one cable will be much longer than the other?  I built my own, with cable bought from VH Audio.  I've not owned a better sounding cable.  Fits your budget and I think you will be surprised at how good they sound.

Have you considered locating your amp next to the speakers and using a long interconnect between the preamp. This is the traditional break strategy. Shorter speaker cables are preferred.

One way I cut the price of my cable down was buy a long single cable and then sent it out to be re-terminated. Instead of paying  $3k for the cables, I bought the single one (14ft) used for $500 and got it re-terminated for $130 by the company.
