Who makes budget speaker cables which are truly “good” or “exceptional” in quality?

A dealer of mine convinced me into buying Analysis Plus speakers cables that I have enjoyed for a few years now. I noticed some other companies making speaker cables for many multiples of $1k and wondered how many truly good companies are making budget speaker cables nowadays? Who are they? What are the prices?  I had Blue Jean speaker cables some years back and thought they were as good as the Analysis Plus brand I have now. What is your brand?

@willemj - Well, thanks for posting your uninformed thoughts. As J. Gordon Holt used to say: "If you haven’t heard it, then you don’t have an opinion." I, too, could post on every thread here on the Forum to chime in about things I haven’t heard and know nothing of, but I don't.  I read more than I type. If you want your fellow Audiogoners to respect your opinions, some selectivity is always a good idea.

I’m always checking out bargains, reading reviews, etc. and I came across an ad at amazon where Cabledyne sells their older version of speaker cables at 50% off.

They're solid, rectangular, single core 12 gauge high purity silver, and appear to be very well made. Six feet for $250. They only come terminated with spades. Might be worth checking out.

All the best,
Nonoise

nonoise,

Thanks for the heads up on the cabledyne cables. Not a bad price for silver speaker cables. I emailed Ed Bowman and got an immediate response. I really wanted to try the Cerious cables but due to lack of communication with the owner I thought I would try pure silver cables.
Thanks!

You're very welcome. I'd try them myself but I can't used spades on my integrated due to the 5 way binding posts (can't get a decent grip) so bare ends and bananas are all I can use. 

Let us know how they work out. 👍

All the best,
Nonoise
