Speaker cables are very user/system dependent and are useful in refining the sound you are seeking.
The Mogami cables, mentioned above, are usually neutral and represent good value.
If you are handy with a soldering iron, or use spade lugs with locking screws, a good benchmark is to fabricate some speaker cables using microwave cable (NOTE: not all microwave cable is the same gauge and construction type). Avoid microwave cable with aluminum/steel center conductors plated with copper. Use microwave cable with solid copper (solid or stranded conductors) or Silver Plated Copper (SPC) wire. I prefer the solid center conductor SPC construction though it can sound a bit bright. Microwave cables typically excel in long runs (good if you want to run the cables under a floor to the speakers) due to the low capacitance and low inductance construction.
Once you are used to the microwave cable sound you could bring in other cables for comparison. You could do the same with the Mogami cable.
