I’m not familiar with your speaker cables but had some Ixos IC’s years back. I’d say your equipment easily warrants some better cables. I’m not sure what your gaining by using both A and B speaker terminals to one set of speakers though; maybe I’m reading your description incorrectly but if you’re doing that I’d just go to one or the other. With you’re Whatfedale’s I suggest Clearday Cables Shotgun with their jumpers. They make a Double Shotgun but I think with your speakers the Shotgun will be just fine. Your Marantz is a little on the warmer side of neutral so a cable like Clearday which is very neutral and revealing will be a good match with your Marantz and Wharfedales. Keep it simple and just buy better quality cables that are priced appropriately to your gear. Didn’t see any used Clearday Cables here but there is a set on the Asylum. If you have any local dealers see what they have and maybe they’ll let you drag something home to experiment with. Again if you’re only using the one set of speakers just use only one pair of terminals off your Marantz.
if you’re using the stock PC that came with your Marantz spend a little money there. There a lot of really good power cords out there that are reasonably priced or build your own. If you want to build your own, VH Audio is a great source. You can buy bulk speaker cable there as well and Chris is very knowledgeable and helpful.
