What connections do you have on the ends of your current cables?

Often these PC oriented systems have non-AV type plugs on the ends which can make replacement difficult.
 
its standard speaker wire not sure if there is a special name for it but just a twin cable with 2 exposed soldered (+/-) ends

like this:-

I bought this cable off ebay thinking it would be good enough but the sound quality is very low and doesnt handle it too well....

That is pretty thin wire, you don't want to spend a fortune for the speakers you have there though.

Check out the power buy section at the top of the forum here, at least one vedor is offering Van Damme Blue at a good price.

2 x 4.0mm Blue Series
2 x 2.5mm Blue Series
2 x 1.5mm Blue Series
