Cable recommendation for Krell & Vandersteen

Posting for a buddy of mine...

Looking for cable recommendations (speaker cable and XLR interconnects) that mate well with Krell KAV-300i integrated, KAV-250cd/2 cd player and Vandersteen 2c speakers? Looking for the best bang for the buck, so I’m figuring used. Type of music he listens to is everything from electronic to heavy metal.

Thanks,
JSB

If your equipment supports the Balanced protocol, then buying expensive XLR cables will/should yield minimal differences in sound reproduction.
I'd just get the King Cobra's.
I've never heard a 'bad' AQ cable. They just get more refined/defined as you go up the chain.

@jsbach1685 .
As a Vandy fan and an AQ fan, I am certainly biased.
First, I would definitely biwire. 
Second, if you can arrange a trial(-I though Cable Company offered trials, or maybe it is the used website-which I forget the name of), get the Kimber and a set of AQ GO-4's and see which suits you. I owned Kimber decades ago, and they were the cat's meow.
For the money AQ is the best value.
I would PM John Rutan and get his take. He know this stuff much better than anyone I know, and is a great guy. (Agon name is audioconnection).
