Speaker Cable Recommendation


Hello,
I recently purchased a pair of JBL Line Array 1000 speakers. They will be driven by a MacIntosh MA6900 integrated. I listen mostly to classic rock, acoustic/electric blues, some jazz. Which cables (bi-wire) would do best?
Budget is about $500.00 maximum.
Thank you so much for your input.

Your amp is really good. Its the kind of unit that will work well with just about anything. I'm not familiar with your speakers, though. I just did a quick search and looked at some pics online. They appear to be pro speakers. Do they have regular binding posts, or are they 1/4 in.? That will definitely be a factor.

If standard cables will work, I'm with Tbromgard. I like Audioquest very much myself. You don't have to spend any where near $500 to get something that will sound great. Audioquest Type 8 is my favourite low cost speaker cable. I can't imagine you not liking it. I'm sure that there are other great choices, as well, but I only comment on what I have actually listened to myself.
If I were you, I'd try a set of Morrow Audio SP4 bi-wire. They have a 60 day trial period, and they are always having some sort of sale.

Make sure to get the nude terminations, and when you connect them, try to have as much as possible of the cable be in contact with the binding surfaces on both the amp and speakers.

I have a set of the Morrow SP2 with my Legacy Audio Signature IIs, and the sound is impressively better than all other cables I have used.
