Need speaker cable recommendations ...

Anyone have experience with speaker cables for Lexicon MC-1, EAD Powermaster and Dunlavy Aletha speakers. The usage will be 50/50 HT/music. I am happy to buy used, and would prefer to limit the cost to no more than $500. I need 10 ft length. Some threads suggest simply going to Home Depot or Radio Shack. Kimber Kable 8-TC seems to pop up on many threads. I am bleary-eyed from reading the Dunlavy "Cable Nonsense" threads and see points on both sides regarding the Z-6. I understand the final decision is personal preference, I'd simply like to know if others have gone down a similar path and where they ended up. Thanks.

Audition a bunch on loan. Go to home depot and get that zip cord and terminate it. Then get some loaner cables (Harmonic Tech, Analysis, Kimber 8TC) and compare. If you don't think the extra cost is justified, don't buy. It's very simple (make sure the cables are burned in though...and spend a few hours listening to each cable). Cheers!

My choice in that price range is the Blue Circle BC92 available in single and biwire.

http://latinternational.com/ You get a 45 day return policy with their cables. Their cables would be the ones I would recommened even if you had posted a $1000 limit.

DH Labs Q10 / external biwire / I like spades better than RCA / $50.00 per ft pair and upscaleaudio.com sells for 20% off the retail price and will have DH LAbs terminate how you want and will drop ship.
Also look into their air matrix interconnects
