Best $200 speaker cables for overall performance?

I am considering the Straley Reality cables, also ran across the Components Plus Audio Horizons speaker cables. Both are in the ballpark, pricewise.

These will be for a pair of Legacy Audio Classic speakers, which go down to about 25hz, so I do place a high value on LF extension and quality and slam. Currently, they are powered by a Nakamichi receiver at 120wpc.

Any other great speaker cables come to mind for this setup?

Thanks much for any input.

I was lucky enough to find a used pair of Alphacore MI2's online for under $200 - sound great so far. I'm noticing depth and decay that was missing before. (Decay is a good thing to my ears...) I'm also noticing some sibilance which I think might just be what my electrical system sounds like - running all stock power cords - I think I need to clean up the power to get rid of the sibilance. I wonder if the flat version of the alpha is picking up RFI? What can I do - wrap them in aluminum foil?!

I'm running Alpha on top and kimber 4VS on bottom of Joseph Audio RM22si's - (why, because I had an extra pair and I like biwiring...)

I've written alphacore about the missing zoebel networks and gotten no response so far...
