Farnell's 79 strand cable (2.5mm^2) at 30 quid for a 100m drum is better.

Blimey, I don't think I've ever seen such consistant replies on the
subject of speaker cable.

I just fitted up my Castles to the Yamaha amp with some cable from CPC
(aka Farnell), I got two rolls of 50m, but used 6mm/sq for the bass, and
4mm/sq for the treble. It was cheap enough, and being on a roll I just
made the runs the same length. The whole lot was bout £50, and they
sound bloody fantastic. Indeed my mate has heard them and now wants a
similar system and he runs a recording studio (and uses the cheapest and
thickest cable he can get).

Many many years ago ( actually a couple of decades back ) UK pro-audio magazine
Studio Sound both auditioned and performed technical tests on speaker cable.

One of the very best performers was British house wiring cable ( twin-and earth ) !
