Best deal on unterminated bulk silver speaker cable for budget audiophiles

Anyone know who has the best deal on silver speaker cable at the moment? I heard Clear day cable was very good, but the owner is not producing any cable at the moment. (The price on those was still a bit out of my range, anyway). I am probably not wanting to spend over $200 total for a 15 foot pair. Is this even realistic? Not adverse from buying from other countries...

Thanks

Another suggestion is The Big Twist from Tempo Electric. A few years ago I bought two pairs of 12 gauge solid core silver (one for each amp) for $1600. Since then, prices have risen steeply on both silver and the Teflon tube insulation used.

You probably won't do better than Dave G's suggestion, though.

Good luck,

Thanks guys, I was afraid of that. I'll probably keep checking for used clear day cable to hopefully get a good deal at some point.

 Re tempo, is 7 feet long enough for you?  I have them. I looked you up to PM you and you didn't come up. Kindly pm me if you want more info. Thank you.

Move the amps closer to the speakers.
You can buy less costly microphone cable from the pro dealers which is likely the same as was used during the recording 😁.
Skin effect also affects the audio range. Use separate insulated strands of AWG #27 or thinner.
