Inexpensive speaker cables: any experience?


I’m currently running some entry Kimber Kable speaker cables and looking at possibly upgrading. In my research I’ve come across some “budget” options on eBay. I assume they’re not great but curious if anyone has any experience with some “no-name” or “budget” cables? 
 

Thoughts on these? 

Thanks!

This ribbon or parallel design has been around for quite awhile, Weber Wire and Bradley Audio TC10 come to mind. Aside from the possible, somewhat awkward placing or routing of the cable, they look well made and their feedback is quite complimentary, decent pricing too.

There’s nothing wrong with fooling around with cheap cables for fun or to see if you can get a different flavor, but frankly, in the price bracket you are looking, I would just keep the Kimbers and perhaps think about moving up within the Kimber line. You have a nice system and it may well benefit from a real cable upgrade. Kimber makes good stuff 

What chay said is some good advice...after your done with the budget stuff the itch for some high level comes calling...i did some diy speaker cables this summer and it was to see what/were these budget cables were at after reading so many convincing reviews.I really was quite shocked at how good a couple of these sound in my system...and keep telling myself i could live with them in...i didnt. 🔃
