Need speaker cables for HT System

I'm hoping someone can give me suggestions for speaker cables for my home theater system, which consists of 4 B&W Matrix 805's and center HTM being driven by a McCormack DNA HT-5 SS Amp, Rotel RSP-1066 processor, and Marantz DV-12S1 DVD player. I'm looking to bi-wire the front & center speakers, but not the rear. I was considering Audioquest or Straight Wire or any other brands you can recommend, but I don't want the system to sound too bright (some have told me that Straight Wire sounds bright). Any suggestions???

Well...I was going to reference you to a thread I posted and updated about the AudioQuest GR-8 cable, but it seems to have "disappeared."

Check it out...for the coin, it is very good stuff.

I have set up a home theater with B&W 801s, 805HTM, SCM8s, DS6 with Mark Levinson amps and using Kimber 8tc for the surround, center, and rear. The result is excellent! And you can get them cheap used.

I can't find any mention of Audioquest GR-8 anywhere on their website.

I would go check out Zu Cable, these guys are making some to the best cables on the market at an affordable price. The B3 geometry they use is very unique and the sonics are very sweet. I use the Wax series biwire. They also make a Julian which is a step down from the Wax and does not use the B3 geometry but they are still very nice. If you want to go for the gold then check out the Ibis. In addition their interconnects are fantastic also. Plus they offer a 30 day return if not happy.
Good Luck
