Speaker cables for B&W??

That's not a bad idea. If you don't like them, you can always bring them back. Just don't take any advice from anyone that works there.

Hi Telescope_trade - when u said.

I know B&W recommends a certain type of cable for best match.

Are you sure this comment was not made by a dealer ?

It is an impossible task imo for a manufacturer to say this as they do not know what type of room and gear our speakers will be placed in. All b&w manuals I have read specify the importance of quality cable; not a specific type.

Certainly as ZD542 said you can just return the BB speaker wires.

Over the past years I have used good WBT connectors. I purchased various raw wire from speaker wire companies as well as other places and made up the speaker wire myself. This allowed me to experiment and see what wire worked best in my room. Once you have narrowed the type of wire you like ..you can if still desired search out companies that provide that type of wire in a finished product.
I believe however you will have so much fun learning about the effects of the different wire - rather than just swapping out different companies wire that you may stick with your own diy speaker wire. Just a thought.

Hope this helps – have fun listening.

I am also wondering this. I'm running 802N off a McIntosh 6700 and id like t match up some good cables in the same budget range.

Thanks for all the reply's aboue. I may try to get a pair of the MIT Matrix 12 biwire cables. Any experience with those anyone? If I am correct,they are the new version of the AVT 1's mentioned above.

There's nothing wrong with getting comments on forums like this to point you in the right direction, but only you can make the choice. There's too many factors involved. The same exact cable will give different results in different situations. And that's not taking your personal taste into consideration.

I'll go so far as to say that copper AQ is a pretty safe bet. Its hard to find an application where they won't sound good (except the Type 4 series I mentioned in my first post.). But that's no guarantee you'll get good results.

Another way for you to go is to call Cable Company. They will send you a box full of cables to try first, before you buy. It may seem like a pain at first, but its not. Its well worth the trouble. I've been using them for a long time and wouldn't even consider doing cables any other way.
