Inexpensive speaker cables: any experience?


I’m currently running some entry Kimber Kable speaker cables and looking at possibly upgrading. In my research I’ve come across some “budget” options on eBay. I assume they’re not great but curious if anyone has any experience with some “no-name” or “budget” cables? 
 

Thoughts on these? 

Thanks!

Nonane ebay cables is just a crapshoot with fairly predicted results.  If you are looking for an inexpensive upgrade of your entry Kimber,  check Zu Audio cables, proper design and value for money from a former Kimber Kable higher end line designer.

Very transparent and neutral cable, IMO. Running a fool loom in my system. I was embarrassed when I heard these and thought about some of the megabucks cables I'd previously spent money on.

I will second the suggestion regarding treating the room. The best money I've ever spent on my system.

I have pretty expensive speaker cables that I liked ($6,000) and I recently got hold of cheap Van den Hul Clearwater cables ($150). I was surprised at how good they sound - actually better than my expensive cables. They are perfectly balanced, now I just enjoy listening to music instead of analysing. I have an impression that expensive cables tweak the sound often, and, if lucky, you may actually find the perfect sound you were looking for. Back to my case, I have a tube amplifier and Franco Serblin Accordo speakers, and I was wondering, perhaps thinner less complex cables can simply be a better match in terms of capacitance, for example. Resistance of thick wires is probably negligent in my case when my cables are just 2 metres long.
