Good value for money speaker cables around $200

I haven't listened to the Clear Day shotgun but I did listen to a pair of the Clear Day Double Shotgun on my system for about two weeks. At $450 for an 8 ft pair you can't go wrong.

The Clear Day cables I auditioned belong to my Son. After listening to the cables for about a week or so I then A/B compared them to my Audioquest Sterling 3 cables. Sad but true the Clear Day Double Shotgun did a slightly better job on upper frequencies, cleaner, and I noticed the Clear Day cables responded quicker to changes in the music material being played.

Equipment used for addition.
ARCAM Alpha 9 CDP (Power cord, Kimber Kable PK 10 Gold) Also (PS Audio Plus)
External DAC, Cambridge DacMagic
Sonic Frontiers Line 1 preamp (Tubes, center row Siemens early 60s all gray plate 7308/E188CC branded RCA. Back row, early 60s white label USA Amperex PQ 6922)
ARC VT 50 amp (Power tubes, SV6550 SED “WINGED C 6550C)
ICs AQ Diamond X2, (single ended)
Speaker cables AQ Sterling 3 (8ft pair)
Speakers ProAc Studio 200

I bet Clear Day would send you both pairs, Shotgun and Double Shotgun to audition. You would just have to pay shipping on the returned pair.

people are going to want to know the model of your speakers and amps ...

you can also check with the speaker manufacturer and see what cable is used internally

Are you familiar with The Cable Company?

I've got some Signal Cable Silver Resolution listed but if you want a money-back guarantee, buy directly from their website (and pay more, of course:).

I think Signals are a great value and great to deal with.
