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!

I would steer clear of the eBay jobs.

I have been looking at the braided Kimber, as the inductance is low.

But I usually use the Magomi 12 or 13 ga stuff which is 4 wire (2 pair) and just put on the ends. I ordered 40 or maybe 50 feet of it, as well as mic cable and Nuetrik RCAs. So all that gear is allegedly now in the mail.

A speaker cable as DIY is pretty easy of one is on a budget and they sound just dandy to a iron-fist and lead-ear.

It's ribbon cable  https://www.ebay.com/itm/334199317464

with a razor knife and and a heat gun you should be able to strip off enough insulation  to put ends on it.

 

Can of worms indeed! 
 

@williewonka thanks I’ll look into these! 
 

Also, thanks to everyone else for the ideas. I probably won’t make my own but it’s a great idea. I’ll let you know if I try the black eBay ribbon cables but I’m leaning toward the ones that @williewonka recommended. Relatively inexpensive so the risk/reward is attractive.
