Speaker Cable Recommendation


Hello,
I recently purchased a pair of JBL Line Array 1000 speakers. They will be driven by a MacIntosh MA6900 integrated. I listen mostly to classic rock, acoustic/electric blues, some jazz. Which cables (bi-wire) would do best?
Budget is about $500.00 maximum.
Thank you so much for your input.

Excuse my misspelling Johnnyb53!I did purchase the Belkin in 2012,and they had a lot of it,various spools and shorter terminated pairs.Sorry Charlot for the bad info.
Get a spool of Belkin speaker cable from Partsconnextion.It's OHNOPCC copper with 18 different sized solid core strands individually insulated.It's the same stuff the high end cable companies use,it's dirt cheap and unbelievably good.Use it for a reference as you audition other cables.I bought some for a place holder when I moved my speakers and needed a 14 ft. run and nothing else has beat it yet.
Nope,they apparently don't have it any more.I was not aware it was in such short supply or I wouldn't have stuck my foot in my mouth like this:< I did "google" it out of curiosity and saw some 18 ga. for sale and a spool of 16 ga. on ebay.I have 16 ga. for a 14 ft. run and it works great for me.I guess you'll have to do some intensive internet hunting to track some down.It really is an excellent cable isn't it? I've put it up against others that cost up to $80 per ft. and it's just as good or better.It's very quiet,smooth,and neutral IMO.Doesn't seem to have any obvious colorations. Best of luck to you,and my apologies for the original misinformation.
