Speaker Cable for Merlin TSM-MM

thank you all for the recommendations - much appreciated.

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.

I very recently purchased Merlin VSM-MX with BAM speakers. I intended to drive them with my Parasound JC-1 mono amps (400wpc ss). I suspected this might not be a great match but it only took a short time to confirm my suspicions. Coincidently, a friend just loaned me his Joule VZN 80 tube stereo amp he had sitting around. Can you believe it? WOW! This is a match made in heaven.
I can't get over the difference in presentation. Musicality in spades.
I'm presently using AU-24 speaker cable and temporarily using Acoustic Zen Silver Ref. II ICs on my CDP and TT that I had left over before I did a major upgrade. AZs are terrific ICs but I've been told that the Merlins seem to like copper ICs better.

Thanks again. I think I will go with the Audience cable but as for the pre-amp that is another issue; current contenders are Joule LA 150, Berning ZH270, CAT, BAT (not sure which models) and Audiopax Model 5.
