robert, imho, the tsms are very linear and continuous sounding. i have never heard anyone give them flack about being hard to match to speaker wire. but because they are known to have a lot of resolution, you do not want to match them to something with an obvious character. in your price range and with the amp you are intending to purchase, look into the cardas se 9, single run and use my jumpers. this is a wire made for your kind of amp.
best regards,
