Speaker Cables...Opinions....

I'd recommend Jade Audio Vermeil speaker cables. FWIW, the designer, JD MacRae is also using a pair of Plinius SA-102's in his reference system.
If you are looking for something more in the mainstream, I'd recommend a pair of Stealth Hybrid MLT's, these are also excellent cables, and you'll have a better chance of finding a used pair.

As for bi-wiring, I think it offers some benefit if you can afford it. In my experiences though, I have found better performance from a single pair of higher quality speaker cables than by splitting the cost on two lesser speaker cables. In other words, I'd go for a single pair of Stealth Dream Petite's before I'd consider bi-wiring with a pair of Hybrid MLT's. If you have even more to spend, I'd go with a single pair of Dreams before bi-wiring with the Dream Petite's. If you can afford to bi-wire with Stealth Dreams, go for it dude!!

Of course, as always, YMMV.

Cheers,
John

i don't know what cables have to do with music taste. but i have 800d's powered by mono krell evo 600's and i have found nothing that sounds better then 4(each channel) strands of 23gage 99.9995 pure silver wire with striped ends(no connectors, just siver treatment if you like), run bi-wired with a strand to each post. mine are 24inchs in lenth. i have listen to many $5000.00 plus speaker cables(including the new synergistic tesla) none sounded better or more powerful. not that it matters, i listen to mostly classic and new rock. don't get caught up in the hype and give it a try, then you can put your money where it realy makes a diferense, like an RCM.

Two very different and interesting opinions. Thank you both. John, I am in the process of investigating your suggestions for Jade and Stealth. Both options could work but Dreams are way over my budget. Possibly the Petites. The Jades are within my budget. Koegz, I always like to try the DIY approach. What sources exist for this wire?....

I agree with Koegz. If you have monos, back them close to your speaker terminals, and use ribbons. You needn't use silver. Copper sounds great. The cost should be below $25 a pair. No commercial wire will surpass a short wide thin ribbon.
