IME, interconnects and power cables have more influence on sonics than speaker cables.
And selection of any cable depends on the component being used and the synergy with said component and system as a whole. Price may not be a factor.
For a balanced fully differential setup, interconnects have less affect on sonic signature. The difference in sound between low cost Belden and a high-priced cable may be negligible.
For my modest system which is all tube single-ended, the cost of my cables is damn high. But that’s what works for me after years of auditions and upgrading.
