Here’s a pair of Acoustic Zen Matrix II interconnects for $300 that cost $920 new, and they should strike a nice balance as they’re very natural sounding and neither bright nor veiled. If they don’t work out for some reason you could easily sell them for little/no loss so very little risk.

If you’re looking new these Ice Age interconnects use high quality copper and are cryogenically treated and are well within your budget, and I believe they offer a good trial period.
