can you help me narrow my speaker cables short list please?

Reason if you don’t mind me asking?

Check out Performance Audio. Scroll down to Custom Speaker Cables. They have a wide selection of colors & connectors. Go for the Canare 4S11G cable. They can build them for under $300 depending on your choices..but they will also sell you everything so that you could build them yourself if you wish. 

I believe it is a Pro Audio site but many good systems & home audio cable builders are using the new-ish 4S11G cable. The 4S11 was already a very popular choice and the 4S11G is considered a step up in copper quality. 

I came across this site recently when I was looking for some bi-wire cables and specifically that Canare cable. I ended up going a different route though. 

thanks mattw73

that site is awesome, the affordable custom options are incredible

QED cables

SUPRA Sword... color might fit but cables are excellent and under $1K. Speaker cables do matter. In most cases you get what you pay for. Buy preowned if possible. Just my opinion
