How much money on speaker cable?

i recently demoed one of the solid silver core (shotgun config) speaker cables & it was not a good match at all in my system. it was very clear & detailed but lacked harmonics & body. try before you buy if you can...

Tip from a pro: DIY.
Speakercables must be seen as a part of the amps powercircuit and should be kept short, thick and solid. Just be aware that solid copper needs some beating to open up.

Relo and others. You're right...high end Audioquest, Nordost, etc. do sound very good, however, in my system, the Speltz anti-cables beat all of the high priced spread handily. In truth, each system is different, and reacts differently to different designs. For my system, every time I replaced any Cardas, Nordost, Audioquest, Kimber, Purist, Wireworld, etc, etc,...it sounded better with anti-cables...go figure.
