Speaker Cables For $300

I’m interested in getting some new speaker cables. I need 8ft and will definitely buy used. I’m willing to spend $300 maybe a bit more for something special. When it comes to cables I get pretty lost fast. I find it very difficult to get any idea what sounds like what. I’d like a balanced and natural sounding cable that isn’t too finicky about what it’s hooked up to. I love air and ambient details but hate anything that’s forward around 2-4khz. Hopeing you guys can help me get a list of a few strong candidates to look into further.

+++1 for AntiCables. An 8' pair of their level 3.1 are $310. Even better are the Level 4.2 "Flex", but an 8' pair would be about $550. I own both and they are excellent

I can also highly recommend Zavfino Nova OCC (Ohno Continuous Cast). 2.5 meters (a little over 8') are $390

I own, use, and can highly recommend the above for value speaker cables; there are better of course, but these will get you really close for not much money. In order of preference: AntiCables 4.2 Flex, Zavfino Nova OCC, and AntiCables 3.1....but all are really good

These all will come available used on occasion, but will not last long

$299 First come, first served. This is a no brainer @brylandgoodman, and $1 under budget.

If I didn't already own them (and a dozen other speaker cables), I'd buy those for sure

For a modest price I recommend the Canare 4S11.  I purchased my pair from Blue Jeans.  

I tried the Micca cables and really did not care for them.
