Recommendation for speaker wire upgrade

I am looking to upgrade my speaker wire on my home audio system and I wonder if anyone can offer advise?

I am currently using Audioquest Type 4 cable (externally bi-wired) between my McIntosh MA6600 amp and my B&W Nautilus 804 speakers (5.5 feet in length, with bare wire connections).

I am considering Kimber Kable 8TC or 4TC, or other brands in that price range. Some of these are available in internal bi-wire options, which I have no experience with, so I'm not sure how it compares with separate bi-wiring.

I appreciate any advise.

I really like the Morrow Audio line of speaker cable. Check them out in the postings. I think it trounces any cable in it's price range. If you can find some used, it will avoid the break in process.

Hi5harry - if it's not used for a while it needs break in again. For that reason Audioquest polarizes dielectric with DC voltage (close to 100V now) from attached battery.
