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?

stringreen, i must agree w/ audiofeil.

i've anticables as a 'sanity-test', and oddly they performed better than $3k cables under a diff config in my system.

but these days, they, like all budget cables i've tried, cannot hold a candle to the uber-$ cables i've had in (prana, jorma, transparent).

if your system isn't reference level, no point in buying expensive cables; but if it is, then you may very well find your biggest bang for buck improvement is indeed in cabling.

(i'll cover this phenomenon more in my review of prana cables in dagogo, due in a couple months)
