Why? What are you seeking to accomplish?
What is your current amp and speakers?
What is the rest of the system?
What do you like about your current setup, and what do you want to improve?

Canare 4S11. For 65 cents a foot it's good stuff. Braided pro cable is all it is, works great.

I second the Straley Cables... best I've heard regardless of price.

I have some extra Canare 4s11 if anyone wants if for free, it's worth less. I have found any 12ga or 24ga speaker cable from Lowes/Home Depot to be an improvement.

If you'd like to debate whether cables make a difference, please check out the latest on in the Fight Club! FUN!

the Bolder cables work well for me.

I had previously tried Canare 4S11, which I found a bit better than the HD wire, extension cord, etc. - but only if unterminated. I use it in the HT rig now and it does well enough.

The Bolder M-80's are all I have tried of the Bolder speakercables. They could do a lot of things better, but for the cost I am VERY pleased.

Rather than go on about air, soundstage, and immediacy - let me put it this way: with the M-80's in place, swapping a Bolder Type 1 and Bolder Type 2 cord around in the system had a startling impact. You could hear it before. Now, it sounds like a component change. And this is just moving a cord between components...
