I have both Speltz original AntiCables and Audioquest Type 4 cables. Pleased with AQs. Liked the ACs too but just too ugly and hard to work with. Looking at picking up some Grover Huffman's latest available to me, but looking for feedback and comparisons first. System includes Magnepan 3.7s, W4S ST1000 power and Rogue Perseus pre. Thoughts please? Thanks!

Try some DNM Stereo Solid Core. Excellent stuff.
I changed over to them earlier this year. I have no desire to look for anything else. They connect 95db speakers with 20ft runs.

I just rewired my 1.6 with mogami 3104 and they sound great. Needed some break in time and was a little worried, but they opened up EXTREMELY well. Love them.
Clear cables, Paul is one of the best.
I second that. Last week I moved from Signal Cable Silver Resolutions to Clear Day Double Shotguns. These are in a different league altogether. There is some kind of naturalness and openness to the Clear Days that you just feel right. There was one area where the Signals beat the Clear Day - looks.
Paul send the cables free for auditioning and will not ask for credit card. Neither does he pressurize you into buying. All emails are promptly replied. I think Clear Day are very under rated.
I found some dog fence burial cables that I am using right now.
They are a solid core copper conductor in 16 awg twisted pair with a Polyethylene Coating.
I did a three pair simple braid and it is sounding great. I am no expert though, but I like them better than my Anti Cables. Braiding them was not too bad. It was stiff but was able to hold the braid form.
Can anyone comment specifically the Grover Huffman speaker cables please?
Years ago, I auditioned both Glovers IC's and speaker cable. These were earlier versions and not the newer "Z" series. I keep the IC , but sent the speaker cable back. It was a decent cable, but didn't possess the life and presence of the above mentioned ClearDay. With this said, I have no idea how the newest version of his speaker cable would compare. Today I use both his "Z" series phono cable and "Z" standard IC in my cable rotation. The ClearDay remains my speaker cable of choice. Honestly, the only way you'll be able to make a true determination is to arrange an audition of his cables. Endless opinions here will not determine how the cables will sound in your system.
Make that "Grover". My bad.
Look at BlueJeans cable....I use these for my surround sound system and really like them. Go to their website and check them out.
Thank you all thus far! While I appreciate the suggestions, I am specifically looking for feedback on the Huffman speaker cables. If anyone has direct comparisons to the AQ Type 4 or Anticables, that would be helpful as well. Thanks!
Wireworld Luna 16/4 bulk length speaker cable is the most interesting lower-cost option I've come across. I have no direct experience of the particular cable, but reports have been positive. IMO, the design likely presents greater neutrality than AQ Type 4 and the Speltz design. YMMV

The Grover Huffman stuff is excellent. I use his interconnects ia system with Udio Note, Shindo and Maggie 3.6's. I strongly recommend you try Grovers stuff

If you can get over the stiffness of the anti-cable it's a good deal.
I worry about the stiffness of the plugs/wire messing up my gear.
The knuconeptz is the best low-cost speaker wire I've ever found. I'm using it on my Quads.
You'll need to get plugs for it, I use the AQ ones that come with a little wrench.
