Need speaker cable

Hello everyone,

I am a regular reader of forum, but it’s my first post. I use odyssey cyclops integrated amp and Maggie 1.7i speakers. So far I have been using a Basic 12 gauge speaker wire. I am looking at buying a speaker cable and my budget is around $500. Please let me know your suggestions.

Acoustic Zen Hologram 2's are killer bang for your buck and always seem to be a few pairs on the various used sites for under your budget.

Though they don't show up very often, keep a look out for the no-longer in-production Clear Day Double Shotgun pure silver cables, originally $500 retail for an 8' pair, sold by their maker for $450.

Audioquest type 4....buy it from audio advisor as they will terminate them however you see fit. They use the bulk form of the type 4 cable with white jacket. 
Also QED makes a nice cable in the XT25. I have used their silver anniversary xt  biwire  cables for years with great results.

I use Mogami 3104 Single bi-wire configured by Take Five Audio ($300) with my low level high end system ($20k).  I find them to be very well balanced with no coloration.

You'd be paying too much for silver-coated copper cable.
