Probably this is the best place to post this question...

What would be the decent cables 14gauge - 100ft for satellite Polk TL350 and subwoofer PSW505. I am browsing on internet and find variety of them available. Does the expensive cables provide better performance as well?

    I went the monoprice route. I was not happy with the banana plugs, they didnt fit tight and was not happy. I then looked at the higher price stuff, blue jean ,mit and other. too expensive. i dont need high price wire. Then i found Terminated Speaker Cables at Audioholics and love them. Looks good, plugs fit real tight and the price was pretty good. I recommend the speaker cables .
