choosing the best receiver, budget 1500 $

Reliable how so ? Will it do the job ? Yeah....will it sound good doing it ? Debatable. Looks like the same generic cabe you can get on a roll at your local Home depot, Walmart.

My question is, after spending x amount on speakers and electronics, why cheap out on the last step, cables ? Not saying spend 500 bucks either, but cost effective better cables can be had from the likes of Bluejeans, Douglas connections, Signal cable, etc.

That will do or so will this. It all depends on how much you want to spend.

The same from www.bluejeanscable.com Belden 5000UE Speaker Cable, 100 foot, unterminated $52.00.

I just found this monster as well:

2-300 $ is a fair price for the wires, but if I need to spend more, so be it

Monster is fairly over priced for the quality you'll get as compared to others. Look up Douglas connections, good quality, pretty cheap, and most importantly......sound good.

I like this wire on a budget it's 12 ga black/red so it's easy to keep phase the white jacket protects it and looks better than plain zip wire.
