What cables would sound best with my system??

what does your dealer recommend?

My budget is around 500$. I'd like to buy used to make the money go further. I see what you're saying about the 85wpc, but the arcam outputs a very generous 85, and can drive heavier speakers than might be expected. Thanks for the tip with the Oval 9's.

Yeah, didn't want to make you think you should change the Arcam...while I'm overkill about power w/ the forests, I don't think everyone needs ot be as crazy as I am (the world is probably a better place for it). You might be able to find a pair of Analysis Plus Solo Crystal Oval cables for that much, maybe just a bit over 500, and those are some great cables (looking at them myself). What's up the chain from the forest and the arcam?

I owned the Monster M 2.4 and was quite surprised by how good they were, especially for the money. You can get a used apir very cheap.

There are lots of better cables but they also cost a lot more. Buy the M 2.4 and when you have the money look for something better. There is no reason you couldn't be happy for a long time with that speaker cable.

Unfortunately I am not familiar with your electronics so I don't know how they will sound in your system, but neither does anyone else. Unless they have been in your room and know all of your listening preferences, no one knows whether or not you will like the M 2.4's.

I had the Monster M2.4 and in my system the Acoustic Zen Satori( although a bit more expensive) are far superior in all respects. You can usually find a used 8 ft. pair for @ $300.00-$350.00. Good luck evaluating.
