best biwire speaker cables for under $300??

Any suggestions for affordable biwire cables for around the $300 price point? I need a 5-6 foot pair. My related equipment is an Onix SP3 integrated tube amp, a Eastern Electric Minimax CDP, and Vandersteen 2ce speakers. I'm looking for the typical traits: detail, soundstage, more weight, and cleaner imaging. Bass could be improved too. I currently have decent DIY biwire cables. Have researched MIT, Nordost, Cardas, and others, but the cost is where I'm stuck. Any low cost wonder cables that you all would recommend? Thanks for the feedback!

A set of Gregg Straley's Reality speaker cable is still in one of my systems where it unveils every subtle change when a tweak is tried or a component change is made.
His companion analog IC's are great, too.
You will really hear what your system can deliver. The amount of natural detail revealed in recordings throughout every part of the frequency spectrum is very impressive.
The name of his product line is not merely hyperbole.

Good suggestions above.
There's a guy on eBay selling Audioquest Midnight cables cut to length (Hong Kong?)
These are an excellent, vintage type cable which have a warm signature. It is one that I keep in my collection.
Good luck.

Try the AQ cable at HCM audio, cheap and sounds good.

Search Audioquest on ebay. You can usually find a pair of Slate, Granite, Bedrock or Type 8 at good price. I like the sound of the solid core wire for soundstage depth and detail.
