I'm not a speaker wire connoisseur by any means, but I use Mogami W3103 speaker wire. You can find under $3/ft and they sound marvelous
Speaker cable recommendations in my budget
I really hate to open this can of worms. I know people tend to be very passionate about their cables and how heretical someone else’s choice is. But, here goes anyway.
if it matters, I have a Denon AVR4806 & JM Labs speakers. Both are about 7 or 8 yrs old. I need 8’-10’. I really only want to spend less than $150 but, I’d go to $200 if there some phenomenal cable that would rock my world.
On the site & in that range are: AntiCabled, Schmitt, PS Audio, Audio Quest, NBS Serpent, Harmonic Tech & Audio Quest Serpent.
Do any of you see the glaring top 2 or 3 I should pick from? There’s now real audio shop around me that sells this stuff.
PLEASE: Don’t recommend dumping my receiver or speakers & no fights.

OP asked for speaker cable, let's keep with that. https://www.partsconnexion.com/DUELUND-81415.html This cable comes close to my Decware speaker cable which is quite good. Remember, you need 4 runs since it's sold as a single strand. 24' = $240 Too rich? www.signalcable.com That is also very good wire for less money, but is not quite as good as the Duelund. I have both, so have compared them. |
Actually, the Dueland cable you linked to is $10/meter, not /ft. I agree that this would make good speaker cable, although you probably want to double or triple up on this wire, depending on how long a cable you need and how efficient your speakers are. Cable termination is as important as the cable itself, if not more so. Assuming you're going tom add connectors, make sure they are good quality, copper-based, and that you can use a good mechanical crimp. |
