Quality of Cables When Bi-Amping


Currently I have a Bi wire setup using golden reference speaker cables from MC501’s to Lawrence Audio Double Bass speakers. Do i need the same quality cables when i bi-amp or can i use spare 18 gauge wires?

It's a no name brand 18 gauge wiring, and i agree with what your saying.. i guess i was looking for that sliver of light that would sway me from not having to pay additional dollars if i didn't have too.. 


@roddyboy  The reason I’m sharing this is I’m currently right in the process of going back and testing and re-evaluating some NOS Golden Reference cables myself for other purposes. I’m comparing them to some newer ohno occ cable designs I use a my primary cable setup. And, intermixing with interconnects. The older design and materials of the GR cables has a particular signature sound to it. If you like it, other cables are not going to give you the same result, tone, texture, or overall presentation You could either match what you have now and secure another pair, or sell what you have now and start over and buy two new pairs of something else in matched form as another option.

Its not worth training for a marathon, running the race, and falling down 50 feet from the finish line and stopping there :)
If you are going to do bi-amp correctly, you need good quality cables (all). I can't speak for Golden Reference, but the lower the resistance the better. I think I've mentioned that I'm a silver over copper guy. NO 18 gauge please.
I have bi-amped for years. Mc275 on top mc501 bottoms. I couldn’t tell the difference between expensive speaker cables and 12 gauge speaker wire. So I went with a 12 gauge speaker wire Ed put the extra money towards a better dac. 
raysmtb1 - You are doing it right with 12 ga. speaker cables. Not going to get much better than that unless you go with silver. Glad to see some people DO understand bi-amping.
