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 think you can pick them up for $1.50 a foot. I tried some after reading reviews, was very impressed, long breakin. I hooked them up in garage and let them run a few weeks. There so cheap you can buy extra runs and try them running shot gun. A single run comes so you can biwire if you choose, if not just double up wires and do non biwire.

Sonically, the expensive might sound 1-2% better. You are really paying for the build and quality of the wire. I just make my own buying OFC wires and stringing them through a pvc tube. They sound great and very heavy duty. Items Used: 10awg OFC wires $40, Vborg plugs $60, braided sleeving $10, shrink tubing $15 Cheers!

But I think DIY should makes you feel good that accomplish something. Took me 2hrs and kids were watching me make them. Hardest part was tubing them.
