Bang for Buck Bi-wiried cables...

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...

I keep saying Anti-Cables.. If you haven't tried them, you don't know.

Stringreen and Cfarlie... Morrows are worth a try... I'd start with SCs... Morrow Scs imho make an instant huge and unmistably positive difference, and "the price is right." No affliation, just a happy customer.

Lots of great affordable choices in this thread. Grover Huffman, Reality, Morrow, Anti-Cables, etc. are all good choices. I'll also add Mapleshade's Clearview Double Helix to the list. These are half of what I'm using on my front speakers, bought them used for a little over $100 for an 8ft pair (4 wires). The "non-double" are quite affordable.

As you can see I also prefer solid core cables.
