Source for Belden 9497 speaker wire?

Anybody know a reliable Stateside source for Belden 9497 speaker wire in lengths significantly shorter than the 1000' spools that come up when you do a Google search? Planning on trying out a new pair of crossovers for my Altec 846A Valencia's and the crossover designer recommended this particular Belden wire.

TIA!

Try Anixter--i have had success buying less than full spools (remnants) from them. Here's a link:

Belden in general is a problem to buy small 'audiophile' lengths of wire.
The big companies expect you to buy 500 or 1000 or even 5000 ft spools.
And almost NO small companies sell short lengths.
I found a place years ago which sold Belden 89259 and I got 100 ft. Now noone I can find sells that short a length.

So if anyone knows of a company on the net which sells audiophile wanted Belden in short lengths please post it.

Looks like Mouser sells 100' spools of 89259.

Anixter will quote by the foot, but imagine you need to order at least 25 to
30 feet.
