I'm looking for a pair of interconnects that won't shatter the bank....

A little over eight years ago I came across a very positive review of Stager cables in Audiocgon:https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/stager-silver-solid-interconnects-2.htmlBased on that and other reviews and user comments on the Silver Solids website, I decided to try a one meter pair, given that I could return it for a fill refund if I wasn't satisfied.Long story short: They're exceptional cables, among the finest available probably at any price. My entire system is uses Stagers, and some friends who share my love of music, live and well reproduced, also have them and are very happy with them. And they are not as expensive as you'd expect for this level of excellence. (I just checked and the prices are still the same as when I bought them in 2013.)
It would be advisable to use best the best cables for all your runs, being that they will be in series from preamp to subwoofer and back to your amplifiers. But if you can run the subwoofer independently and just use silver interconnects to you amplifiers, with splitters at the preamp, then the quality of the subwoofer cables will not be as important. But then you would be running the stereo speakers full range and the subs just for some additional low end boost.

There are some amazingly good cables available on Amazon for a fraction of the advertised brands.  Like 10% of their cost. Next rung up I'd have to go with Pangaea. I got a a set of their TT cables and am very pleased for under $100.  Beyond that, your wallet is the limit.

Check out Kimber Kable. They have silver which has the lowest resistance. You don't need silver for the subs, but I REALLY like silver over copper for everything else. Amp, preamp, DAC, phono and not that much $$.

What I’d do is get myself some decent looking but not too much costing cables from no matter what brand or store. There are many myths about audio cables and most of it is marketing babble to lure your into paying top dollar for ’left rotating silver atoms’ that in the end are just metal strands worth only a couple.

Of course if it makes you feel good when you pay a lot for some nice looking audio equipment then that can be worth the investment, but only for that reason, that it feels nice, while probably it doesn’t really sound better. With a blind A/B test most people won’t be able to hear a difference. You only hear a difference because you just shelled out $500 or more for some esoteric interconnects and now your brain tells you you want/need to hear a difference.
