Which speaker cable?


Would like some input for a new set of speaker cables. I am running a Rotel 1095 amp (5 ch) and would like to upgrade from my monster cables. I will be running the new cable to B&W's 805 Nautilus and B&W HTM2 center. The rear channels have been already wired into wall speakers and I wont replave them for another year. I've heard a set of 803's with Kimber, but not a before & after. Wanting a tighter bass and cleaner highs if possible through the wire. So, input please as to makes, models and costs.

I can't speak for your system and synergy, but there is a pair of used Luminous Renaissance for $85 or so and another for $150ish (new price is $200-$300, I think). They are extrememly fairly priced (considering how ridiculous cable prices can be) and a deal at full retail price, but the used price is amazing. I replaced a pair of Cardas Golden Cross ($1200 used at the time) with the Renaissance and felt they were better in almost every way. They may have been a bit more forward in the upper mids than the Cardas, but they improved on the overall resolution by a huge amount and the bass struck me as more realistic and defined. I preferred the Audience AU24 and the TG Audio wire to the Renaissance, but both are many times the price.

I would try a variety of suggested wires and see which you prefer. There can be quite a huge difference between brands, and all will likely react to your system in different ways. Good luck...
When i was running B&W 801 matrix i was using Monster M1 or M1000 can't remember which.
Upgraded to Audiotruth Argent bi-wires ( midnight on lows )and noticed quite an improvement in overall performence. Much better detail,quicker and tighter bass response.
4cranch, Here is a short, but insightful, perspective on audio cable. I find it an interesting read. It explains some of the basics of design and materials usage. Bottom line, they are a great sounding value.

Happy reading.
