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 have used the Blue-Jeans speaker and interconnect cables with good success ! I replaced my other cables with them about 10 years ago and they beat them out at a fraction of the cost. I then about a year later, tried Audio-Envy cables and that took my system to another level. Now I use them exclusively both their speaker and interconnect cables. Captain (the owner) at Audio-Envy is great to work with and I’ve upgraded through a few of his improvement changes with great improvements in sound. Their interconnects have fairly low capacitance which allows for longer cabling lengths without attenuating the treble. Highly recommended ! ! ! Give him a call ! He’s easy to talk to and very informative...

i remember quite a few years back, at a high end audio trade show, over a casual lunch break with one lew johnson and jeff fischel of c-j... talking about lotta things, the subject of mega buck cables came up, lew made a point... in the high end audio business many of the true greats, bill j of arc, carl marchisotto of alon, stew tyler of proac, dennis had of cary and so on... no one makes so much money to live in mansions, have sports car collections, etc etc

the few, rare exceptions seen have always been folks who started cable businesses, noel lee, jim aud, joe reynolds and so on... just some food for thought...

I just bought Elac 14 Ga. They sound the same as the Morrows they replace....and the BlueJeans before that ...and the 10 ga Daytons. It's almost as if cables don't matter...

@secretguy

i found found that cables do matter, but they seem to impact the sound in inverse proportion to the size of the signal they transmit... so most cable sensitive are phono interconnects, then analog or digital interconnects, then speakers cables least (assuming sufficient gauge and basic cable hygiene of course) ... just sharing my personal experience

but if you think about basic physics and notions of resistance, reactance, it does make sense
