AQ vs Signal Cable vs BlueJeans vs MonoPrice

I only have experience with Signal Cable and have been very happy with them. The Classic cables will suit your budget.

Monoprice is the place to go, great sound, best value. Also consider 12 gauge speaker cable at Home Depot. I've compared it to stuff costing ten times as much and can't tell the difference.

Signal Cable sounded better in my system than Blue Jeans when I compared them, but then, I wasn't using the entry level SC model. In any event, I'd be patient and buy used when a length you need comes up.

If you're doing your own cable terminations, such as adding banana plugs, the Blue Jeans Cables are tough to work with, and kind of brittle. I prefer AQ solid core copper for this. I actually use both in my HT system, AQ type4 for the front array and BJC for the surrounds, because I have very long runs and couldn't afford AQ at that length. I think it sounds great.
