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.

+1 on the Kimber Kable 8TC. I went from Blue Jeans Cable to this on my Magnepan 1.7s, and the soundstage got bigger, and there was more air between instruments.

I have the 1.7i's too and I use the Cardas Parsec, works great.

Analysis plus oval 9’s can be had for your budget and they are pretty sweet.

1.  Buy used if you can.  Speaker wire doesn't degrade. You'll likely want to upgrade again so buy a well known brand with good resale value.  

Here are some of the best within your budget. 

AudioQuest Rocket 11
AudioQuest Type 8  "No Frills" (it comes in a plastic bag)
Kimber Kable 8TC - most expensive of the bunch but compatible with the best of the best
Kimber Kable 4TC
