FWIW, synergy seems to be the most critical thing with cables.
If you like the your Audioquest cables between your cdp and amp it's likely you'll like the matching Audioquest speaker cable.
Having said that, I tried some really inexpensive cables for my 2nd system that I made following the directions at

Are they the ultimate cable? No, but inexpensive and surprisingly good. Try 'em.
btw I was happy with the above mentioned Kimber 8tc for a long time so that's another way you might go.
Last, I currently have a set of Crystal Cable Micro cables and a set of JPS Superconductor3 cables for my McIntosh system. Both are good but different -- the CC more neutral, the JPS more "lively". Either sounds best as a complete set.
Synergy.
