Speaker Cables?

HT only? Nordost's cheapest Flatline will be better than what you're using by a long shot, AND allow you to bury it under the rug. You really shouldn't spend any more on cables unless you upgrade the source or speakers first, IMHO.

If you want a commercial design. Kimber 4TC is pretty good for the price. If you have the desire to build your own you can save some money using JR's Belden 89259 design.

A thousand bucks is a bunch of music.

without doubt i would stick with a silver cable. many of you know i love audio magic. i think it's the best silver cable out there and for long runs it can't be beat (imo).

i can give you more info if you'd like.
