What speaker cables can complete with Audience 24e or 24e SE for less $$

Looking to replace my Harmonic Technology Pro 11 + speaker cables whose girth and size are too awkward for my current living space.

Therefore, I have considered Audience 24e or the 24e SE speaker cable, but even  the used prices for 6 ft pair with banana plugs is over  $1100 on Used Cables.com and more on AG 

Therefore, I need some recommendations for less bulky speaker cable that offer the same quality of sound of the Audience cable, or close to it for less money. Obviously, I will only buy used to expand my dollar range

Speakers are Golden Ear Technology model 7's:

Pre-amp:  CJ PV-14L SE; 

Amp: BAT VK 200 ( 100RMS) 

Thank you,  SJ

Jim, I'm pleased you're keeping us updated. At $75/ft, his cables are not cheap, but as long as you get the return policy, it may be worth it.
  As far as listening to different types of music, the sonic signature of the cables will still provide open, dynamic sonics. And no brightness, except during burn-in.

I also listen to jazz fusion and often to the great guitarists...Jeff Beck, Hendrix, John McLaughlin, Pat Metheny.

To Lowrider,  Thanks for the comment. I spoke to the G-man today, and his trade up  policy is generous; so I am probably going to go for the Empress speaker cable and trade in my Huffman EX speaker cable.

A trade up policy? Excellent.

"If you have good equipment and good synergy then this should not be a matter of critical concern. Any decent 16 gauge braided copper wire should do for a short 6 feet."

Frankly, there is no technology in speaker wire relative to all the technology in speakers"

Where do you get this stuff? Are you serious?
