If you bi-wire you can use a cheaper cable for the bass, and still improve performance over using a jumper. It is sad to me that so many use a bi-wire single cable pair instead of two separate pairs. The bass and the mid-highs perform better when the very low and high frequencies are separated by the cables.
Audioquest Type 4 ($14/ft pair list) is a bargain cable at entry level. For really tight budget the F-14 ($1/ft list) is a good performer.
You can also use the Kimber PBJ interconnects. Excellent entry level product.I think they are only $60-75 1m pair.
I personally use Cardas Cross speaker ($433 1m pair list), and Audioquest Diamond ($950 1m pair list) and Lapis ($575 1m pair list) interconnects. I will have to get some 801's, Revel's, or Beethovens before I would pay more for cables.
And you can see why I am present at AudiogoN where buying used can half those high prices (though they are not the highest by any means).
