    It would be helpful to know which electronics and speakers you are using. Also which brand interconnects you are using. I have found in my system that having the correct interconnects can make a bigger difference in the sound. I think the smaller voltages between components are more easily distorted by mediocre cables. Power going to the speakers is less easily corrupted due to the higher voltages. IMO

    Hi,

    Since you already use Audioquest IC. I would stick with their speakercable. Audioquest cater for every budget and good deals to be had second hand. I would not use different brand cabling for Ic and Speakercable. Also with audioquest you can go up the range as and when.
    Hope this helps.

    I agree with sticking with Audioquest. One of the better ways to buy AQ cables is from www.audioadvisor.com because they buy bulk and terminate themselves for a considerable savings. The Type 4 or 6 should fit within your budget.
