Tired of Expensive Speaker Cable. Alternatives?


I'm once again changing speakers, so I'll need two sets to shotgun biwire. I'm tired of seeing the prices asked, and the recommendations made, for multi-thousand dollar products.

I don't know if I'm interested in going the Home Depot extension cord route either, though.

What about low-moderate priced wire that sounds good without the high price tag? Something full, big sounding, extended without being bright, with a good soundstage?

LAT international makes a very nice set of speaker and interconnect cables; Joseph Chow at Audio horizons makes nice speaker wire as well. I have the anti-cables and in my system, or maybe my ears, I thought they were OK but let through some digital nasties that these other cables didn't. DH labs also makes a pretty decent cable.
In my system, the LAT international silver/copper hybrid clearly sounds better than the anti-cables - not even close. I won't spend truckloads of money on a cable, but there is a difference. However, LAT cables may not sound better in other people's systems so I won't presume that they will. Ditto for DH labs and AudioHorizons.
