Who makes budget speaker cables which are truly “good” or “exceptional” in quality?
chrisr; 10awg solid core is in the (minimum) area where it starts to happen, the amp seems to grow or open up, specially in the low end. Bi- or tri- wiring improves the top end further.  
power cables where do I start?
Stranded wires can`t give you clean power

 Try to diy some powercables mede from 12awg solid core. It might open your eyes 
Who makes budget speaker cables which are truly “good” or “exceptional” in quality?
I discovered (step by step) how to make the ultimate no-loss speakercables back in the 90`s. The thruth is so simple that most "educated" audiophiles will not believe it.this also made me rebuild my powerap, replacing the trafos++Thick(!) clean so...

Visited a friend years ago, he has a modified old Jadis amped-system and wanted me to make up some speakers for him. Brought mine as a referense+my heavily modified Electrocompaniet AW DMB-250. (moore a DMB450 now)He also had a Oracle Delphi (MkII... 
14/4 wire for speakers- good idea? Bad idea?
Yep, the higher end manufacturers does it this way and they are all wrong. Who in their right mind would even think of using such tiny cablage to feed a poweramp? Then why in h**l use such tiny strands on the low voltage secondary site?   
Power cord length?
There will allways be a loss in any stranded cable, no matter of price.

Do expensive cables/wires REALLY make a difference
Youre wrong Arctic.I have done this for decades, Guess I have to be concidered as a "golden ears"-guy but there is not much mystery to it, just a lot of practice and a wery clean, open system that reveals every little change.The clean, open system... 
What speaker cables to buy for my Krell s300i amp?
To this day I haven`t seen any commercial hifi-cable that`s capable of feeding a speaker without major dynamic loss. That`s why I`m using thick massive copper, and I mean thick. Just be aware that the copper will need about one hour of heavy massa... 
Biggest Baddest Audio Cables
Roadtripboy; Want to discover a new world? Make up some minimum 9awg solid copper things and give them some heavy masssage for about one hour before you starts to evaluate them.(If you don`t have access to 9awg or more 2-4 thinner is the next best...

10awg is about enough area to feed a 5" mid. Thicker wires means lower resistanse = reduced dynamic loss.be aware that sc copper needs about one hour w. heavy bass-massage to open up, before that it sounds like crap.I`ve been doing this for decade... 
Speaker cable suggestion for Pass Labs XA30.5
heaviest solid core copper you can find, give it about one hour of heavy massage and it opens up, you`ll never look backspeakercables can never be "too big", only restricting power giving poor dynamics 
Review: Emotiva USP-1 Preamplifier
A lot of good info, but not too much about the actual level of soundquality. btw; it`s a bit too obviuos to claim it`s "good for it`s price"

that should be 12B70R? I can recommend 12B100R, superfast & clean
