I purchased some new speaker cable mid last year, and was quite surprised at the cost. Ended up purchasing 12AWG cable from Ideal Electrical which was sold very well priced by the meter. So maybe try your local electrical supply company.

I purchased some new speaker cable mid last year, and was quite surprised at the cost. Ended up purchasing 12AWG cable from Ideal Electrical which was sold very well priced by the meter. So maybe try your local electrical supply company.
I checked with local electrical suppliers and cable was still $2 plus a metre for relatively stock cable.
I then checked TM and found cable at a discount and bought three rolls of it at $18 a roll for 30 metres at a claimed 80% off.
So I've come in under budget for what I want to do
The same role of speaker cable is selling at Jaycar for almost $90.
Picture showing the price comparison is below:
grolschie: Speaker cable? Pffttt! Power cable upgrades is where it's at:

A lot of 'average' people just don't appreciate the finer things in life nor do they comprehend the high cost of snake oil (key component in these high end audio accessories)
Alas i'm too poor but i have always wanted to upgrade my amplifier's volume knob to the Silver Rock Signature Knob made from turned beechwood in C37 lacquer, apparently USD485 very well spent on getting the purest sound
