Who makes budget speaker cables which are truly “good” or “exceptional” in quality?

It is not "good enough" for everybody.
How many cables have you listened to?

My time is too expensive to waste.

There is a market for expensive cables.  That market is for those who spend the money and then truly believe they can hear a difference.  If they believe they hear a difference, then they feel that their music sounds more pleasing and therefore is a positive thing.  

The cables don't have to really do anything to please this market, and if that segment of the market is pleased, these cables serve a purpose.  I'm just glad I cannot hear any difference when there is none.  My cables are a mix of Kimber Kable, Wireworld and Monoprice.  They all sound pretty damn good though the Kimbers look cooler.

Yet, you keep showing up here with posts that adds nothing to the discussion other than your biased opinion 😉

Wow I'm having a right laugh here, nothing gets peoples backs up like cables and after market fuses. My thoughts if it rocks your boat and you can afford it do it because we are not going to be here for a particularly long time. Oh and I believe in both categories so do your worst.
