Speaker cable recommendations with Magnepan .7s

I’ve done several upgrades to my setup. I’m now trying to catch up my cables. I’m interested in finding speaker cables that will be well suited to my system. I would like to spend under $200 and prefer to buy used.

I have read that anti-cables or mapleshades are often recommended. That’s all I know.

Magnepan's do not need any particular cable as they present a fairly simple load to the amp, i.e. not a complex impedance.

They do need an amp capable of good current delivery into 4 ohms.

use zip cord, then 'rent' anything cheap and do a blind test

then 'rent' a more expensive cable & repeat the blind test

Better use of your time & money: a nice Bryston amp

Maggie uses Bryston amps to demo their speakers at shows.  Give them a call so they'll have a heads up.
