other speaker cable, what to buy


My current speaker is 5meters long. I needed that length previous. However things have changed. Now 2*2m or 2*3m would be more then enough.

The speaker cable I have now is a Wireworld Atlantis 5. I was thinking of replacing it by a NBS dragon/fly. Before the Wireworld I hade Nordost Reddawn is I remember correctly. The nordost cable wasn't what I was looking for. I think they are not neutral but it is hard to explain what they do sound like. To my ears the Wireworld are more neutral.

My set:
VPI Scout
Lyra Dorian
CEC TL51x
Wadia 12
Symponic Line La musica
Impulse Aria SE speakers
Cardas Hexlink 5c interconnects
DAC has a NBS dragon/fly power cable, the rest are standard power cables.

I would prefer cables that are easily available in Europe and don't break the bank, I'm on a tight budget so I will only be looking at 2nd hand.

I prefer to keep cable at the orginal length. If I shorten them I am afraid the will become worthless if I want to sell them. If I have them professionally shortened I think that the costs wil be considerable. Since my speakers don't have a biwire option shortening them and run them as shotgun is not an option.
I did write a response earlier this week. But somehwo it did not end up on the site. So here we go again.

Tripper, I don't think that have cables lying in loop on teh floor is a good idea. Not really sure how it works but it can create magnatic fields I think.

Thank you for all the advise on what cables would be good. I have looked at all your suggestions. But I am limited by what is offered on the second hand market.

PNF Audio Symphony sounds/looks interesting and he sells some nice demo gear. But he doesn't sell to Europe I think.

I have been looking a a pair of NBS monitor 4 speaker cables. Does anyone have experience with these cables?
I ended up with a pair of NBS monitor IV speaker cables. Someone made me a really good deal on those.
