I'd like to upgrade my speaker wire

I am fairly new here and still learning.  I have a Yamaha R803 receiver and Vandersteen model 1s.  I'm happy with them for now but I'd like to upgrade my speaker wire. I presently have 14 gauge wire I bought years ago at Best Buy. I need 40 feet.  I've read great reviews about Back Cat but I think 40 feet may be a little pricey for me. I'd greatly appreciate any advice on a good quality wire at a reasonable cost. Maybe under $500?   BTW,  I bought Jim Smith's book as recommended here, great advice, thanks.   Doug

40 feet total, that takes into account down through the floors, through the basement, and back up.  30 feet might be enough but a lot too long is better than a little too short.  Thanks for the advice.  Doug

It’s still ambiguous. No, I’m not being a smart ass.

I like the Anti-Cables I'm using with Vandersteen 2Cs, but they are only 5' runs each, bi-wired. Not sure about spending $ for 40'...
Glad to hear you got Jim Smith's book, it is excellent.
