Tired of Expensive Speaker Cable. Alternatives?

I'm once again changing speakers, so I'll need two sets to shotgun biwire. I'm tired of seeing the prices asked, and the recommendations made, for multi-thousand dollar products.

I don't know if I'm interested in going the Home Depot extension cord route either, though.

What about low-moderate priced wire that sounds good without the high price tag? Something full, big sounding, extended without being bright, with a good soundstage?

It's easy to audition MAS Signature and AntiCables since Audioparts, Inc. and Speltz each offer 30 day money back guarantees, and Canare 4S11 is only $1.04/foot. Pretty inexpensive to try. You probably spend more on dinner.

In a few weeks I'll have a pair of 20-30 foot MAS Signature available for half price if you're interested.

It's only as difficult as you make it. Pick a few and start listening.

LAT international makes a very nice set of speaker and interconnect cables; Joseph Chow at Audio horizons makes nice speaker wire as well. I have the anti-cables and in my system, or maybe my ears, I thought they were OK but let through some digital nasties that these other cables didn't. DH labs also makes a pretty decent cable.

Saxo, please note that Speltz and Anti Cable are the same thing.
I agree with others: of the very cheap ones I have tried Speltz Anti Cables are by far the best. Also very suitable for biwire since they are so thin and can be twisted together
