Do a search here and at DIY/tweaks for the Jon Risch Belden speaker recipe, nice sounding cables for not much money. diycable.com has them as kit or completed if you don't want to make 'em yourself. At the recent AES show here in NYC, I spoke to a Belden rep about there cable, and about how cable companies buy their cable from manufacturing companies and have it relabled, then mark it up for a sometimes exhorbitant amount of money. "Oh, we do that for several companies" was his reply. Many high-end cable companies will try to make you think that they manufacture their own cables, but it's just too expensive to do that. Granted, it does cost a lot to start a high-end company ( and thousands to buy magazine ad space), so I can see some of the mark-up.
