Biwire Cables for Vandersteen 2CE Signatures

Hi all.  Trying to make a cable decision...  Richard Vandersteen recommends "true biwire" (i.e. "double biwire") cables, and suggested trying audioquest.  Audioadvisor will build audioquest cables to order, and can build two pairs of Rocket 88 cables for double biwiring (without DBS battery system) for around $1000.  The other option is two pairs of Purist Genesis Luminist cables, higher retail cost, but could get used.  So apples for apples costwise. Running with a McCormack DNA 0.5 Rev A amplifier.  Any suggests?

AQ makes a nice high quality Vandersteen size spade
RV and Low share the DBS patent
there is a lot of cross collaboration happening

point of clarification not trying to sell my wires, i need them back
just trying to help a fellow Vandersteen owner hear the benefits of external bi-wire

+1 for Johnny R. I got a set of Go-4's from him. (My puppy decided the DBS packs were a new chewy toy, so I had to send them back for repair. AQ repaired them for a reasonable price).
My point is that Vandy and AQ are a great match and two companies you can depend upon.

@peter_s   RV is Richard  Vandersteen and Low is Bill Low the proprietor and cable wizard of Audioquest.  You've been getting a lot of good advice here.  Vandys and AQ cables play very well together.

@peter_s   I forgot to mention your wisdom of using a Rev. A .5 McCormack amp with the 2Ce Signatures.  I use Rev A+ DNA 1 with my Treo CTs.  McCormack and Vandersteen's are another one of those synergistic combos!
