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 tend to agree regarding bare cable if ones speaker binding posts allow … The one 

exception that comes to mind being High Fidelity Speaker cable where the housing 

of the terminals contain their proprietary magnet technology.

They are not just on ebay and they are made in the USA.

on a fairly resolving system, I recently tried NORDOST speaker cable and Morrow speaker cable. AMAZING improvements. (both under $900 retail and both avail for less).  I WAS running standard OFC 12 gauge.

I ended up with the MORROW, (smoother to me in the upper midrange) but the detail and soundstage improvements were LARGE, not subtle.

I have used inexpensive Belden 9497 and recommend it at its price. It is sold by reputable seller HighEndAudioAuctions.
