I recommend starting with Cat5 ethernet cable. It works very well for both interconnects and speaker cable and costs 10-20 cents a foot. Of course there are many who think you have to spend a small fortune on wire to get good sound but they are incorrect. IMHO you focus on the electronics and speakers  using a neutral wire like CAT5. Why not try it? It is a very inexpensive experiment. If you get to the point where you have maxed out everything else then maybe consider trying different cables. However, you will never get everything else maxed out so spending money on cables is a huge waste of money. 

Crystal clear is much more than he wants to spend. A complete set would be in the $10,000 or more range. Most of us would get much more benefit investing that in better electronics and/or speakers.
