Speaker Cables? Your input kindly requested.

With the bryston and B and W combo, I have found that
a pair of Straightwire Rhapsodys sound great! They are under budget as well. The wireworld eclipse II may be a nice choice with the silver spades.. they can be had for less than 500. Definately both will not be harsh. Great bass, vocals are not too forward and mids are separated and controlled.
Best of luck,

I say go with Zu cables...there are a few pairs on sale here, the wax are the better pairs, and the julians are ok.
but the Varial are too pricy.
check it out.
good luck

I liked my DH Labs Q-10 and T-14 external bi-wire set up when I was running M803 SII's using an Aragon 4004MkII amp, which is somewhat similar to your system. You did not state the length of cable you need for your $500. I am currently selling an 18 feet long pair of the DH Labs. Other usual suspects in your range include Kimber 4TC double run (or 8TC), Analyis Plus Oval 9, and some of the Audioquest cables, as well as others. I have not heard all of these, but found the DH Labs much better than AQ Type 4, and pretty good when compared to my Acarian Systems Black Orpheus. Of course the shorter your run, the better cable you can afford for your $500. Good luck with your search.

You should try the older Audioquest Midnight speaker cables since it will cure your harshness problem. Also it will make the presentation more musical.
