Best 10 speaker cable for 250 ??

I would highly recommend the Goertz MI-2 speaker cable in your price range, an oustanding cable for the money, worth considering.

I auditioned the CAT 5 DIY cables (168 strands or something like that) and still felt that the inexpensive Kimber 4VS ($3/ft) bettered them in all areas. I have been very curious about the Mapleshade Double Helix cables which fit your budget and have a 30 day return/refund policy. I went with a 47 Labs cable kit instead for now (should be receiving it later this week). I agree that Kimber 4TC is very hard to beat granted that your system is not on the bright side as it will not soften the sound from my experience but will not add brightness either. Some people are now "down" on Analysis Plus, but they do have a reputation for smoothing out the sound, if this is what you are looking for and have a strong following nonetheless. If you decide on AP I would recommend that you contact Disco at this site in regard to price quotes. He can also make custom connections if you require bananas instead of spades.

The Coincident CST 1 used 6' are had at about this price.cant be beat in the price range.I spent 6 months trying to many brands to list.IT WAS THE HANDS DOWN WINNER.
I also spent a great deal of time researching what is required to make a great cable.Coincident uses all of the key ingredients.

It depends on your system and speakers in particular. The Kimber 4TC is a vivid and fairly balanced cable, but can be slightly bass shy. I don't know if it's the best choice for a bright or fast speaker. I would still take it over 8TC, which sounded a bit slower than the 4. The Alpha-Core MI2 is also excellent at this price point, with more bass than the 4TC and refined highs. Heard some recently and bought a run for my own system.
