Speaker Cable for Merlin TSM-MM

Dear All
Does anyone have any recommendations for speaker cable for use with the Merlin TSM-MM monitors. I have been recommended the Audience Au 24 speaker cable but would be interested in other suggestions which may also be a cheaper option. I currently use a solid state amp and I am considering upgrading the pre-amp to an Audiopax in the future (if I have the money!) if this helps.
Many thanks in advance.

I use Signal Cable Silver Reference with my VSM-Ms and I am very happy so far and they haven't broken in yet!

I have Merlin TSM-MX's with Joule LA150, VZN-100's, and Cardas Golden Reference IC's and speaker wires. Bobby strongly recommended 3m length CGR in single wire used with his supplied Cardas jumpers. I ended up with an internal biwire 3m set that has the smaller gauge for high end and larger for low end. These worked out very well and they sound extremely smooth throughout.

I third the TG Audio speaker cables recommendation. Less than 1/2 the cost of Golden Ref (I use all Gold Ref ICs) and a little better sounding, to my ear. More solid and open at the same time. I fully agree with Mattybumpkin as regards Audience. Tried them before the TGs and found the AU24s a bit lean and slightly etched in the upper mids/lower highs.
