So here is someone who tried various mid level speaker cables ( $2k most expensive) and after purchasing new to me speakers was on the verge of selling them as they just did not sound "right" to my ears.
Not what I expected or other reviews had led me to believe.
A friend loaned me some different copper construction speaker cables and a change was wrought, still not what I expected but led me to believe it was my " higher end " cables not matching well with said speakers.
Talking with a fellow member who now makes cables for a side living, Western Electric was suggested, so two 13ft lengths were purchased from ebay, some nice spades and shrink tube and outer braided sleeving, grand sum maybe $140.
Best sound so far I had heard and this was quite a few months ago and even though the amp has changed since then I still feel these " home brew horse patty DIY stuff" hold their own very well in my system.
Now I truly have no idea if 5k or 10k cables would trounce them and to be frank I have no intention of finding out, at least not on my dime.
Just my experience, YMMV.
