Best speaker cable for B&W?


I have a pair of B&W N805's I have a short 5 foot run, they are biwired with Monster M series Biwire. It sounds decent but I know I can do better. What kind of cable are people out there using with their B&Ws? I'm looking to spend about 130$ bucks used right now? Any suggestions or experiences?

Squiddy:

At the price you are looking to purchase these things for you would be MUCH better served by a run of copper alarm wire, say in the 18 AWG range. If you can get some CAT 5 teflon insulated stuff, it will work really well - just make sure it's all solid core - stranded wire is just plain crippled by all sorts of nasty problems. Because you're running a short length the resistance of the wire itself shouldn't upset your amp's damping factor - all the control you need for the woof will be there.

Considering your budget and what is available in the audio realm to meet your budget, you will be way better off following my advice - it's super cheap to try, so if it doesn't work out... buy something else.
