Speaker cables for soundlabs and strong current

I have a pair of A-1's which I will be running with JC-1's (not purchased yet). I will be needing a pair of relatively short run speaker cables. I am interested in your opinion on which cables have the best bang for the buck for this application. I know there are many cables out there in the thousand plus dollar range but that is currently not in my purchase range. Fine tuning the system with cables will come later. Just looking for a really good solid cable at a great price.

Thanks

Linn K-400. Very good sounding heavy guage wire. Has better bass and greater detail than the Kimber 8VS that I'm presently using. (If you need a short run of the K400 I have a pr.) Regards, Bill.

I own a pair of Milleniums and have had good luck with Magnan Signatures and also Tara RSC Masters.

monster cables dude! yeah right.... just kidding.
I own a pair of A-3 and I have a very rare custom made in Japan cable that works super nicely. But I have tried Purist Audio cables with them, which I also own, and they work superbly. You can't go wrong with PADs.

I'd second the Kimber 8TC(and who would know better than the system's designer, what would work best). An excellent, easy to work with and fairly heavy gauge(8) cable. It should virtually disappear in a short run(the best quality a cable can possess). Very inexpensive used but the newer, clear/white 8TC is really attractive. It looks so good it MUST sound better, right? I'm using it on my bi-amped woofers, and they are probably going to be a permanent resident.
