Best 10 speaker cable for 250 ??

I have to second Lak's advice. For $250, the Kimber 8TC is the best choice you have. I've been using 8' lengths of bi-wire 8TC in my system for several years and have been very pleased with the performance.

I second the goertz cable at that price-range or a used oval 9.

Also in this price range is the Analysis Plus Oval 9 (used). There's a 10' pair for sale in the classifieds right now.

Note: This seems to be a cable people either love or hate. Not much commentary from the middle ground. But is there ever...?

Coincident has a new .5CST that is an incredible budget speaker cable. I had the CST 1s, but had to run a longer line in a new room. According to Coincident, you lose some detail. But I really can't say that I noticed. Very, very nice cable quality with heavy duty gold spades too!

I would highly recommend the Goertz MI-2 speaker cable in your price range, an oustanding cable for the money, worth considering.
