In the interest of giving you another choice that's within your budget, add the Kimber Hero interconnects to your short list. They have received strong endorsements from a number of audio equipmnent reviewers, and they -- like all of the moderately priced Kimber products -- offer excellent value. I have participated in many "A-B" / double-blind cable tests over the past 20 years, and have not seen one of them produce results proving that people can distinguish audible differences between IC's at a statistically significant level.
If you intend to buy audiophile-quality speaker cable at a "reasonable" price, then you should strongly consider the Alpha-Core Goertz MI2 (copper) cables. Even our resident audio guru, Sean, endorses these cables as one of the best available at any price. For more info, see their very informative web site: www.alphacore.com/goertz.htm
