Need speaker cable recommendations ...

Anyone have experience with speaker cables for Lexicon MC-1, EAD Powermaster and Dunlavy Aletha speakers. The usage will be 50/50 HT/music. I am happy to buy used, and would prefer to limit the cost to no more than $500. I need 10 ft length. Some threads suggest simply going to Home Depot or Radio Shack. Kimber Kable 8-TC seems to pop up on many threads. I am bleary-eyed from reading the Dunlavy "Cable Nonsense" threads and see points on both sides regarding the Z-6. I understand the final decision is personal preference, I'd simply like to know if others have gone down a similar path and where they ended up. Thanks.

http://latinternational.com/ You get a 45 day return policy with their cables. Their cables would be the ones I would recommened even if you had posted a $1000 limit.

DH Labs Q10 / external biwire / I like spades better than RCA / $50.00 per ft pair and upscaleaudio.com sells for 20% off the retail price and will have DH LAbs terminate how you want and will drop ship.
Also look into their air matrix interconnects

Try working with the Cable Company - They provide recommendations based on feedback from other customers, and they also provide loaners for in-home demos.

Audio Advisor has Audioquest Slate and I paid 98.00 for 12 ft run. 30 day trial and they are close to my 1000 MIT 750

I would second the idea that you use a source which allows for trial and return. Get a buddy to switch them back and forth and determine whether you really hear a difference. There is a LOT of snake oil here, my friend. Charlie.
