Looking for speaker wire.

I have Denon 4800 receiver and Paradigm Monitor 7 speakers. What would be the speaker wires that match with my system? My budget is around $300-400.
Thanks for the inputs

I've been very happy with my MIT cables (Terminator 4). I bought them from Audio Advisor b/c they're about half the price of buying locally.
They also have a wide selection of higher end cables from Cardas, Nordost, Audioquest, and others.

I have a Denon 2802 and Paradigm Performance series speakers now, but used to have a Montors 7's also. I have used many different wires/cables(Nordost, Kimber, Straight Wire, Monster, etc...)

Get some 12AWG Sound King or Carol speaker wire from www.partsexpress.com or from your local home store.

It is about $.25-.50 per foot

I use Recoton 12AWG wire that I got for $2.50 for a 40 foot roll and it works/sounds just as good as my $5/foot Nordost Flatline.

For speaker wire make sure it is Oxygen free and at least 14AWG and for cables make sure it is TRUE 75ohm cable with good shielding.

AudioAdvisor

FYI, I've ordered several items in the past from AudioAdvisor (speakers, amplifiers, cables) -- they're reputable and easy to deal with.
