Budget Cable Suggestions: 15 ft Runs 8,9 Gauge


Currently trying Blue Jeans Belden 5T00UP/ locking bananas. Looking for other suggestions for 15 ft run speaker cables in lower gauge (larger diameter):

1. banana terminations /15 feet
2. less than 10 gauge (8 or 9 gauge)-- lower resistance
3. up to $500
4. for use with higher power/current setup (NAD M2 to Mirage OMD 28 speakers)

Tried Analysis Plus Oval Nine in past years, sold them.

Try a pair of AQ Type 6 or Type 8. Its a big step up from what you have now and your components are definately good enough so that you will hear the difference. Its a good match for the tweeter in your Mirage. Also, you shouldn't have to go anywhere near $500. You can get something more expensive, but I think the money can be put to better use elsewhere.
A pair of Anti-Cables Reference 3s would be just over $400. I've been using them for a few months and find them very reasonable, and quite musical. Lots of detail, excellent dynamics. They also have somewhat less expensive versions. Terrific customer service, too.
