Depends somewhat on the lengths you need but I buy in bulk so will usually look at Amazon for Prime eligible stuff in the length and gauge I'm interested in. I last bought a 250' roll of 14g a couple years ago and am about to use the last of that. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=speaker%20wire&sprefix=speaker+%2Caps&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Aspeaker%20wire

I guess I should have said speaker "cables"...
Like the Monster Z1 speaker cables...
Or the AudioQuest speaker cables...
But, obviously at a "reasonable" price...
I am looking for the ones with the already connected banana connections...
Not just speaker wire...
Thanks!

Oy vey. Don't buy those brands whatever you end up doing. They're just evil.
You can't strip wire or attach a banana connector? I always do my own, there's even a thread that will show you how to jacket them for good aesthetic effect. Making only the length you need is a lot easier in many ways than buying a bunch of different length pre-mades; especially when you're running 5 channels and more. I'd go monoprice or bluejeans as has been suggested for pre-made cables. Direct connection is even better if you don't plan on making frequent changes to your connections....

OK, now don't flame me - I am just repeating what I have heard - more than once...
I have been told that Momoprice and Blue Jeans were over-rated...?
And the only reason they became so big to people on AVS - is because they sponsor the forum...
Again, that is just what I had heard....
So, please don't beat on the messenger!

Not going to flame/beat you up
However, I have used so-called entry/low, mid and higher-level cable,
And they all sound as good as RadioShack cable.
All cable has to meet the cable and crossover in the speakers, and you
can not transfigure/transform the sound.
Open up some speakers and look inside - and see the wire that they use

I use Canare 4S11 for all my speakers

LOL
I am basically looking for AudioQuest speaker cables with banana ends at a "reasonable" price - not $250 per 10 ft. speaker cable...
Anyone know of any manufacturer?

There you go!!!
That is EXACTLY the kind I am talking about!
Thank you!!!
EDIT: But it doesn't say what gauge the wire is and it looks rather thin... The 12 gauge version looks to be a lot better (and more, lol)
Anyone ever heard of Ethereal...?

We who have been around know better, and are saving money on speaker wire >> if you want
something like $200/300 AudioQuest, then go for it - hook it up to some Sony bookshelf speakers
and you will find that nothing so-called magic, will take place.

Sure, and only at four times what they're worth.
