Speaker Cable Recommendations

I know this may be dangerous but I need some suggestions for decent speaker cables under a grand on the used market. During my search I always end up back at the same ones. Acoustic Zen, Audioquest. Does anybody have experience with Tara Labs? Less expensive Kubala? Wireworld? Shunyata? I am using a Bat ss amp with a Mac pre and Aerial 10t speakers. I like nice controlled bass with a very neutral mid and high.

thanks

What did you like better about the AP Solo Crystal Oval 8 over the Cerious Matrix?

Another +1, for Analysis Plus cables.

In my system the AP cables sound fuller, more "organic" ..., if there is a word like this to describe sound.  The instruments and voices sound more real to me.  I'm still not quite sure of the graphene benefit in Cerious  cable design.  The Cerious cables are very good but in my system I prefer the AP by a small margin.

If you have a few minutes to spare, check out Audio Sensibility.  He makes a pretty fine product.

Ignore all recommendations and audition in your system in your room.

Doing otherwise is equivalent to grading silk blindfolded and wearing boxing gloves.
