Bang for Buck Bi-wiried cables...



Greetings all,

A friend of mine just purchased a Denon 3808 and a pair of B&W 704 speakers. He is looking to Bi-wire them and I wanted to get some recomendations on 8ft Bi-wire'd cables for him.

Cost is an issue as he is working towards the accompanying B&W items (C, SR, SL and Sub)to give him a 5.1 system.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Tiger,

the Clear Day will smooth out nicely after a 100 hrs or so. Paul has done his homework. His choice of wire and dielectric make this cable sound exceptional to me. It has very good bass control and a nice midrange. It doesn't quite have the HF extension as my big $$$ cables but don't take that as meaning they are rolled off. They're not. I think they are an outstanding bargain.
After having the Morrow Audio SP3's in my system for a couple of weeks I would say they are a great sounding speaker cable and not just for the price. They are very accurate IMHO.
If he's really into 2-channel I guess I can see wanting to bi-wire, but if that's the case if it were me I'd be saving up for a separate pre/pro and amp. If 2-channel isn't a good deal more important to him than home theater I'd put more money into the sub before I dropped that cash on bi-wiring. Anyway, unless he's using garbage speaker cables now and needs to upgrade there may be other areas where that money would yield more return on investment at this point. Just a thought...
