Speaker Cable Recommendations

I know this may be dangerous but I need some suggestions for decent speaker cables under a grand on the used market. During my search I always end up back at the same ones. Acoustic Zen, Audioquest. Does anybody have experience with Tara Labs? Less expensive Kubala? Wireworld? Shunyata? I am using a Bat ss amp with a Mac pre and Aerial 10t speakers. I like nice controlled bass with a very neutral mid and high.

thanks

Synergistic Research. Get one with active shielding if you can. Then send the MPC wall warts to Michael Spallone. Find him here on audiogon. For a very nominal $50 or whatever it is now he will upgrade the diodes and caps and replace the cheap circuit board with point to point wire. The result is an already very good cable gains incredible detail, depth, power, and just generally sounds so across the board better you will hardly believe its the same cable. And it was good to begin with.

Though much depends upon what speakers you are using, I have a bias towards Audioquest.

Harmonic Technology Pro-9. Had them in my system for 15 years until trying Wireworld Eclipse 7. Both, coincidentally, use OCC copper. Most of my interconnects are HT Magics (Kimber Silver Streaks for phono duty).
