Also, consider moving your amp next to your speaker and using long interconnects to your preamp. A better sounding alternative.

Mogami.  They make a quad which is outstanding. 

A couple of comments….

(1);Bi-wires are a mixed bag approach. I understand that VANDERSTEEN recommends them. Fine….So does REFERENCE 3a in their manual.

BUT ….when I asked their Prez directly about his recommendations for a bi-wire cable choice,  his comments made me pause. Things change,

in essence, he said if you have hi-quality and properly shielded copper biwires with premium connectors, you MAY get a comparatively small improvement (5% ish) over single runs.

….otherwise just stick with a single premium copper single run and high quality shielded premium copper jumpers .…. that’s their current advice .

(2) I had the VDH teaTrack biwires in a prior system .,,, but not long before I dumped them. Comparatively, they suck …. Move on sir regardless .

"Also, consider moving your amp next to your speaker and using long interconnects to your preamp. A better sounding alternative."

I've never understood this advice.  So, sending a line level voltage (typically a volt or two at most) for 20 feet is going to sound better than sending a speaker level voltage (at least 10, if not 50 volts depending on volume) the same distance?  It would seem the smaller the voltage, the more delicate and thus more difficult to propagate over distance. 

I've never bought it, despite being common audiophile 'wisdom'.  Explain.

I use 15 feet of Kimber 8PR in a a 3/5 biwire configuration for my Reference 3A de Capos
