I need help selecting speaker cables

I just purchased a new pair of Focus Audio 788 speakers. I have come to learn that there is a seemingly infinite universe of choices and opinions re cabling, with the sky being the limit re price as well. Where can I find a reasonable review of say the top ten or some such reference to help sort this out, so that I can buy a cable that is complementary to the quality of the speakers but don't overpay. Thanks.

A general rule of thumb is to spend 10% of your system cost on speaker\interconnects.

Some people rave about DIY speaker cables made from orange entension cords bought at Home Depot. Others spend $30,000 and up.

Let your wallet, ears and piece of mind be the judge.

I went the 10% route
